I attended the past Cirque anxious to meet people, purchase stuff I don't
need and see my frame from Peter Weigle for the first time. It was love at
first sight. The real treat was hanging around Peter and listening to the
conversations he had with the CR folks who stopped by to see my frame. I
wish I had his passion. Working with Peter is special - you become consumed
with the complete development, regularly waking up in the middle of the
night thinking of the bike; if he had a form it would be 87 pages of
information. Several of you wanted pictures of the frame as a bicycle - so
here you are! Sorry for the poor quality shots - my excuse is not enough
time and inadequate camera. After two shakedown rides the bike performed
amazingly well on our annual Memorial Day Century; 6 miles of dirt roads the
bike was stable and smooth. Looking forward to receiving Peter's rack for
the front so I can install the lighting system and take a midnight ride in
the Ohio countryside.
