Have You Seen Me? Coming to a Trail Near You...

A while back we received and email from a gentleman asking about the exact dimensions of Sette’s ST-7 workstand. As he explained, he was living on the road and space was at a premium in his Sprinter van. At the end of his note he said to check out the June issue of Bike Magazine.

It took all of a minute to find that issue of Bike in our break room and confirm our suspicions. That issue had arrived just a few days earlier and by the end of the day we’d all read about Craig Bierly with enviable admiration. A couple years ago he retired and reorganized his priorities so that the only thing on this to-do list was ride the entire lower 48. Once he achieved that goal he set a new one and is now in the midst of a 1000 day mountain bike adventure. Somewhere along the way he’d finally had enough of wrenching on his bike without a repair stand and lucky for him we still had a little room left in our sponsorship budget. A few days later a stand was on its way to a rendezvous with Craig as he was swinging through Ohio to wish his father a happy birthday. This morning we found this great photo waiting for us in our in-box.

Looks like the stand made it to Craig safe and sound and he can now use one hand to work on his bike and the other to hold a frosty beverage without fear of his bike tipping over. If any of you out there now what he’s drinking, please let us know. That bottle looks very intriguing. Craig’s keeping a terrifically detailed account of his adventure complete with ride data so make sure you visit his website. It’s a great read. And the name R U Nuts Adventures makes us laugh because, to us, a 1000 day bike ride sounds like a perfectly reasonable adventure.
