Hey Chuck, When you did the logos for the Velo Orange frame I never got a dinner invite like Eddy Merckx did. What gives? ;<)

Actually I had no idea of your stature as a bike logo designer when I asked you to do our decals. I'm very impressed. Thanks.

Well, just name dropping here, but Eddy came to my house and we went to dinner when I designed his logotype in the early 1980s. Yes, I'd characterize him as shy and humble. Pious? Wouldn't know or care actually.

The Cannibal? That's the side that his competitors saw, not me.
