A journey that begins with MADE Show in Portland

Following the close of the show, I collected the latest Doppo Ronin that was on display at the SimWorks booth at the MADE Show, loaded up my luggage, and set off on my journey. The past couple of years, Chris King has collaborated with Block15 to make a special limited beer for MADE, and some folks from Block 15 wanted to join our annual ride, so we decided to ride the Corvallis-to-the-Coast (C2C) Trail in Oregon, covering about 60 miles (about 90 km) over two days from the starting point in Corvallis to the finish at Ona Beach on the Oregon Coast.

C2C trail, a well-known bike route in Oregon that we were able to start from Block15 in Corvallis. Kelsey from Block 15 knew the route well and led the way, so we were able to proceed smoothly without getting lost (like I’m known to do!) ..........

TANGESEIKI is a precision parts manufacturer that Japan is proud of. High-precision headset components are essential for accurately translating the subtle nuances between intention and action into the bicycle’s performance. We are very pleased to have been able to start SimWorks by TANGESEIKI with Tange Seiki, one of the few domestic manufacturers capable of meeting this demand.

Tange Seiki headsets are used on many bicycles around the world. SimHEADS is a custom-ordered model based on the “Classic,” the most durable and precise model in the Technoglide series, which is the pinnacle of Tange Seiki’s headsets, and customized to SimWorks specifications...

1) Going alone.
2) Working on something independently.
3) Nothing equal and superior to everything.
