how has the move from chester -> warwick affected your business? (forgive me you answered this in the other 16pages of text)

d

that's a good question atmo. the new shop being built sent me for a 4-5 month hit of inactivity, and there were a few other wrinkles in
2010 that hopefully are ironed out. but since mid autumn i have been making frames and writing orders as if we've been here for years.

Richard,
Thanks for sending the box of used parts/components for the Colavita Florida Junior Development Cycling Team. We appreciate it. It will allow us to get some kids on the road or cross course who might not already have that opportunity. Your suport is no small act of kindness. Thanks again.

of them, will also be featured in the print issue of peloton. Our first interview, in two parts, features Richard Sachs.

yo wayne jew get one of the last watches atmo?

Yes. Always happy to help the team where possible. Discussions with the folks at RGM helped make the decision easy. Polite, professional, and unhurried conversations.

Hi Richard, Your Peleton magazine interview leaves me with a question. What would you say are the primary differences in the way you build now, compared to your early days, at either Witcomb, or on your own.
Obviously your skill set has improved, but what about procedurally?

Great interview!

i'd say there isn't a single thing in common with what i saw in london or what we did/how we did it in east haddam atmo.
if there's any strength that comes from the experience it's that i learned in the HUGE torch/brass brazing era, in a shop
without a single fixture (much less a power tool), and in an environment of "these are bicycles not gilded lilies" atmo. it
also led me away from taking any cues from within the industry in order to endure it.

[WayneJ]

Favorite line in the interview ...

"No formulas. No stationary bicycles. No ‘don’t touch me there’ stuff. I’d say it’s all intuitive. Some cats see dead people. I see riders on bicycles. It’s just that simple."

[e-RICHIE]

saw this on dale's flickr site atmo. i really think this is from the 1976 international cycle show.
it's gotta be the first ever assembled rs branded bicycles shown to the trade. public was not
allowed in the coliseum. wow -

Richard:

Is that where you met the Hjertbergs? They had one of your frames on display on the table at the Wheelsmith in '77 (?). I went with the cheaper option, Jeff Lyons. I stumbled on the reciept for the Lyons the other day. Blew my mind!

Richard, at the time of the 1976 Cycle Show, and that particular bicycle, what was your goal? Were you looking for shops to do business with, or was your main goal exposure on a wider scale? I realize marketing was very different at that time, which could explain a lot. That is a very nice bicycle and looks exactly like the bike I wanted to ride at that time.
