So glad you liked this. It seems to lack the ego of many offerings on the web. A real live in the moment Zen type video, made me smile and almost cry with joy.

Now try this. https://vimeo.com/18969652  Real craftsmanship in action. The thing is I would like to see all the Taiwanese people that made my beautiful Thorn frames as their craftsmanship is also superb and they get no real credit for it.

Happy days
Ian

March 2013? I would expect a trip like this would take quite a bit of planning! Just getting visas is probably a bit complicated! But then hey I am over cautious and end up just riding my bike around the block!

Here is one good place to look for clues:
