Another season, another 63xc.com. Not a bad issue, either, tho I'm still cleaning up bits and pieces several days after the thing went live. The launch of the site marks the last of my big time-critical projects for a few weeks, which is nice as i. I have a stinking cold ii. both Hubjub and the book biz are doing well and I'm hoping to spend some time streamlining -- not least Hubjub's new Gaansari Scorcher and NJS sections, which should go live in the next week. Martin King nicely sent some images of his Marin, fixed with Hubjub-sourced componentry. These come from a shoot he did for the Fixed Gear Gallery -- incredibly, he did his own Photoshop work, right down to putting borders on the preview image. Geezer!

Today, the updated Gaansari section went live. This is the new version with the Scorcher at the top of the listing and the linked gallery and build pages. I figured it was time to put the bike up because Cass at Cycling Plus has finished riding and started asking for details of tubesets. The bike's expensive enough that we are unlikely to be deluged with orders in that old 'container fresh from Taiwan' style, but it is an absolutely beautiful piece of work and I think the people who like this sort of thing will really like it. (Oh, and don't miss the Nitto Jaguar posts.)

A short inebriated Xmas day post to the effect that we're open (hic) for business throughout the holidays. (Even when we're playing with our roboraptors.) The much-delayed shipment of Nitto etc goodies turned up yesterday triggering a festive dash down to Southampton docks, so we should have the chainwhips and 17t 1/8 sprockets back on the site shortly and the delayed NJS pages up a little later. The next couple of post runs will be taken up with clearing the backorders, but anything you buy now should be in the post by the end of the week. And so, a kind good night to all.
