Day 1-Intro to the workshop

Tim gave us a little background on his shop and advised us to bring water because the workshop is not air conditioned.  He gave us very extensive directions to the shop and it's a good thing because we would have been lost otherwise.  His shop is in a warehouse of the main road behind a sign company building.

Both Katrina and I didn't sleep very well night before Day 1.  I think we both were too excited.  We went for our Saturday run at 6:30AM today to make sure we would bring everything we needed.  We packed water, cameras, the forks, and headset.  I even brought GPS in case we couldn't find the shop for whatever reason.

Now for what we forgot.
We took measurements 3 times along with hiring someone to measure us...forgot that information.   Also forgot my checkbook.  Damn it!
Tim was nice and luckily there had been enough discussion between us over the past few weeks we figured out what we needed. 

We sat down and talked for a while about what kind of bikes we wanted.

We decided that Katrina's bike will be designed for comfort, light touring, and road biking.  My bike on the other hand will be a more aggressive design for racing.  Tim knew the angles for each.

Katrina's bike will allow up to 700x32.  I will have a 7 inch bottom height with seat tube angle of 72.5 degrees and head tube angle of 72 degrees.  My bike will have a 6 in bottom height with a seat tube angle of 73.5 degrees and head tube of 74 degrees.  Are forks have a rake of 45.
