Mike Pofahl came by the shop today. He's been working on a revised front end for the 36er for me. This should solve two problems that I've found with the bike, excessive bar height, and fork flex fore and aft. True to form, he has found and fabricated a more elegant solution for my original design, and he brought the beginnings of it in. It's gorgeous, simple, and should just kick ass! Projected time frame is a month or so, with it being ready in ample time before the Big Wheeled Ballyhoo in June. We will have both of our 36ers there for test rides, hopefully making people smile as much as last year.
Cheers,
Ben

Mike Pofahl is a genius
I used to know a Mike Pofahl and he was a genius, too!
I think all Mike Pofahls are, by definition, geniuses.
Mike Pofahl, hey, who's your favorite genius? Definitely, Mike. I mean Mike Pofahl. Genius. End of discussion.
Not just a genius, though, a cool dude, too.
Definitely.
Craftsman, a craftsman with an awesome sense of skill and artistry.
Heck, the guy is a combination of skill, artistry and sweat. Lots of sweat.
Yeah, I know what you mean.
He's good with color.
Wha! A genius with color.
You said it. May I add he reminds me of some kind of Greek god, like, say, Apollo?
Anyway, glad to hear he stopped in. He's a busy guy that Mike Pofahl, dude. And, also, did I mention, a genius.
Wow, that's all I've got to say to that.

Heh heh! I wouldn't be surprised if I knew who "spammed" these comments. Anyway, I am excited to see this rig!
Gotta few ideas for an updated rig like mine too. Hmm......by the way, we never did name it, did we? Anyway, I'll call you up soon to share.
Yeah, I have an idea too....
Good clean fun is all good with me.
The new design features a Susan B. Anthony in it, I think you'll approve.
