Small Batch 2020 – IPA

Western North Carolina is known for many things – flowing singletrack followed by rugged descents, miles of beautiful and serene country roads, seemingly endless gravel tracks… and really good beer. A staple of that regional beer culture is the “small batch” brew. These are unique and interesting beers that are produced in limited quantities for […]

Being Frank: Mechanical Empathy

Nearly two decades ago I met a guy that introduced me to a concept that I had thought about but never distilled into a conscious methodology and attitude. The concept of relating to how we interface with things mechanical was something I just felt naturally. I sensed that mechanical things have finite lives that can […]

Being Frank: Rough Silk

We were excited about the eeSilk seat post when we introduced it. We believed it provided a compliance benefit that rivaled more complicated bicycle frame designs. This meant someone could expand their riding to rougher backroads and gravel roads without having to drop thousands on a new bike. Plus, at under 300g the eeSilk added […]

Being Frank – My Cane Creek Favorites

Favorites, everyone has them. Craft beer, James Bond actor, MotoGP racer, burger joint, and even offspring (but parents can’t admit that) — everyone has favorites. While all of the Cane Creek products, particularly those born during my tenure, are special to me, some climb into my Favorites category. I have been a titanium fan for […]

A pricing mistake can be addressed quickly, and if done so correctly, may have little or no long term impact on a product’s success. Spec’ing (selecting) the […]
