November’s really the perfect month for messing around with a suspension system. I’m in the middle of a few optimizations of Danzig’s pivot locations to improve shock and front derailleur clearance. I was really happy with the results of some initial work I did over the weekend, but working with a fabricator is a little like working with an editor. I create. He critiques. I go back to the drawing board. I’m ready for that process to take a while, but “move the lower pivot forward a quarter inch” is the type of casual request that takes about twelve hours to really make possible. (Front derailleur blues.) Overall, I’m really enjoying learning everything I can about the process.
Then there’s the green light on a major site redesign I’m helping make happen. It’s going to be difficult as hell, but very worth it I think. Consulting, programming, writing copy and “curating content” (whatever the hell that really is) every night makes for an interesting part-time job. Also makes for some long days.
On the day-job front, there’s the looming dark mass of obligations that are The Holidays. Spread across three sites and a whole lot of responsibility, opportunities for the mind to wander to thoughts of frame designs are few and far between.
At any rate, the results of the Kickstarter poll are decidedly inconclusive–about half of you don’t recommend going that route, while the other half think it sounds fine. Anyone who’d like to offer some insight into his or her vote, please feel free to comment.
Meanwhile, I have some pivots to move.
