Bontrager and the Tour
Bontrager and Lance
Bontrager and his garage
this is something that I failed to think about
this is really cool
Bontrager's contribution to the USPS and Lance's success in the Tour
again...
I have a faint memory of a friend out west buying some mountainbike wheels with road rims trimmed to 26 inches
he bought them from a guy who made them in his garage
we take today's technology for granted
those wheels were lighter, as strong, and got fewer snake bite flats
(or so I recall, but I never owned them)
it impressed me
but it also impressed me that it seemed obvious to make what works
all started in a garage
the wright brothers were bicycle mechanics who created flight in the garage
never underestimate what can be done in the garage
I am not sure, but I think that was Keith Bontrager making those wheels in his garage
from the FAQ on the Bontrager site....
Q: How do you pronounce Bontrager?
A: We get that a lot!
