Ain't nothing like riding a fine horse in new country.
Ziba loves Signal Cycles
This has been an amazing month for the Ziba + Signal Cycles experiment as our work together has developed into a true collaboration. We've met multiple times (frequently on our bikes) to explore our conceptual direction and nail down the major technical building blocks of our Oregon Manifest bike. From the Ziba side we look forward to these meetings as an opportunity to test out the feasibility of our ideas. We are also interested in the reactions we will get when we propose some of our concepts that are more "out there." We learned this week that the guys from Signal also look forward to and enjoy our meetings. Check out this email exchange between Ziba and Signal this week:
As you can see from our initial exchange part of the purpose of our meeting was to interview the guys about their bikes, their business, and what it means to have won best city bike at the year's NAHBS. We think these guys are pretty kick ass, see for yourselves.
After the interview we sat down with Signal to hash out some more of our bike ideas. We made a lot of progress and determined the best next steps for executing and experimenting with some of our designs.
P.S. There's always money in the banana stand.
