No kidding? Its been a while, but I've run into Mike a couple of times. BTW - I was just selling a guy here in the office on a Hampston tour. Literally. Just 3 hours ago stood outside my office telling him about it. PM me a link or some info that I can send his way.

The thread "welcome" was locked - so I think I'll use this place as my first post.

I'm a recovering shoe cobbler of sorts. Formerly of one of the "big-two" custom (cycling) shoe fab shops here in the US. I'm not in the industry any more, but spent a long time there and made shoes for many of you on this forum (Jerk, e-Richie, Brendan, among others).

Anyway, there it is. Hope everyone is doing well.

I'm NOT in the industry, but sure am impressed by the members of this board! As Brendan said, the "linked-in" of the cycling world.:adore:

+1 on the Stripes reference, too, Brendan - a classic scene from that film!
