(Bruce Gordon and Chris King talking shop, smiling was optional.)
Chris DiStefano gave me a brief outline of the latest happenings with Chris King. Besides the exciting news of Chris King getting back to his frame building roots, DiStefano also explained that Chris King was at the Handmade Show to support the builders and to also try and push the industry back to standards that may have been lost in the increasing specialization of all the different mountain bike and cycling niches.
The Chris King frames will be built under his old “Cielo Cycles” name, and there was a placard on the display, giving a short history of the Chris King frame building background.

Besides Campy and just 1 Stronglight headset all of my racing rigs are Cris King equiped only !!! Even my latest super-light 10 gears-only Pocket Rocket ( by Green Gear Cycling - Eugene ) is King hubs as well. Oooops very much tempting only by the detailed lugwork shown. Wasn’t aware of Chris’s past as a framebuilder ( not all the US insider’s news travels across the Atlantic ever since the best ever published bicycle magazine BICYCLE GUIDE got lost ) Great great I am that fortunate to have run into this particular news. Only question remaining : how many bicycles can one man own and ride. Our 2nd floor appartment downtown the city of Amsterdam already holds 12 performance bicycles on 94 square meters of living-space for 2 adults and sportif adolacents. ( besides 2 attics under the roof - thks. god )
Cris makes my money ” itchïng ” but I am a strong man. Toy toy as people say before going on stage, keep up the good work across the Atlantic. Enno Roosink, Amsterdam.

Shut up… You are one of those old farts who moan about how bright their “velo” life was and how many bikes they own… pathetic
