Wed: Back home. House still there. nothing stolen. Week a success.
How about a factory tour? Industry Nine is an Asheville Co. Everything is USA made. In house. Anodization takes place elsewhere. They also make some slice ya thin knives. I got one of those too.
Those are my wheels: top right: Set of Stan Arch's, one Stan 355 front and one Flow Rear.
Jake and I used to jam out to DJ Shadow in Harrisonburg. Now he jams spokes in wheels for me.
Lots of bearings. Brandi at INine told me they had about 400 wheelsets waiting to be built. So I have to say thanks for putting my up on the list, and sorry for those who have to wait for their pieces of bike jewelry.
Each one of the pawls gets buffed by hand on the wheel. And then when it's all over, you get nifty wheels like these.
Oh and the boys in yard are always having fun. Those backyard peaks are behind the factory.
Riding Pisgah with animals.

Now I see where all those Lefty hubs I can't get my hands on are hiding!
Great job at Snake, you blew past me in the first singletrack section. I think the reason they do the race 3 times is so that you MIGHT get a chance to complete it mechanical/flat free. I finally had my day. I'll look for you at Cohutta.
Harlan, thanks for passing me at the Snake, I'm gonna feel bad, like something is terribly wrong one day when the pro stop passing me. Oh yeah, can I get an autographed jersey? thanks, Stephen
What races do you have planned for the season?
Good post Mr. Price. Is it OK if I call you Harlan?
:-)
Nice looking wheels..
sounds like a great roadtrip !
Glad you got to play at the snake. We were the ones ribbing you at the start. :-)
