First off, sorry for the long delay between posts. We have been super busy getting the business end of Mission Bicycles in order -- we got a bunch of boring behind-the-scenes business stuff together that we'll spare you the details on.

But great news! The first run of bikes are on the way! We just picked up our first prototypes frame from the powder coater.

Check it out:

Our first frame being cleaned right after powder coating.

It's even prettier in person.

The other bike parts slowly rolling in. Barring a shipping disaster we will have the first pictures of the complete prototype posted on Monday. These bikes are going to look hot!

We have done some more work getting the shop in order. We are beginning construction of a shelf that will hold forty frames and a whole mess of wheels 8' above the floor. We've also got all the necessary shop tools order. Next week we will have our headset presses, truing stands, bottom bracket and headset facer's, torque wrenches, and a ton of t-handle allen wrenches ready to rock.

A trunk full of wood for the big high up shelf that will hold 40 frames.

We will be posting a menu of sorts, it will list the customization options for the bike as well as a sizing guide for proper bike fit. We will also be getting a mini art-contest going for the initial decal sets. There will be a lot more news in the next few days so stay tuned!
