My customers are weird


Lots of framebuilders have websites full of glossy, studio-shot, professionally photoshopped bikes. Then again, I am not a cool framebuilder.

So here you go. It's a bit blurry. It's, well, not so well composed. And it's staged in front of Andy's fire, getting ready to curl up for the night in it's nice comfy wicker basket. Nothing sells bikes like awkwardly posing them inside your home like beloved pets!

I'm going to need to fire the marketing guys. Assuming Andy does not show up tomorrow and murder me for mocking his photography skills. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black...

i dunno.......my bike pics are not museum quality either.......I miss all your "cool" builder powerpoints too, except the "beard" part, and that's just until my wife tells me I look like a "crazy man"

New motto: Coconino and Waltworks, totally lame since 2003!

Anon - yes, the TV is a great contrast to the bike. I did not notice that!

The REAL truth: I was trying to warm up the tires to get them seated on the rims straight. You see, Walt works in an extremely cold environment in the winter, and quite cruelly gets his products very cold - meanwhile Walt is cozy with layer upon layer of coats, hats, and vests! Simply not fair - cruelty I say.

Nice, I came here to post exactly that about the TV. Priorities indeed!
