BOTM: MIN.D. HERE AND NOW - PART 1

Andy Kessler - 17-Feb-2021
Earlier this week I promised you the next BOTM is gonna be available for everybody. What a crazy bike world we live in. Here we go with the MIN.D. build by our Barcelona dealer Velodrome and Pepe from HED wheels.

Good thing that Marc our photo- and videographer lives nearby as he still - or again can not come and see us in Basel.



We do have MIN.D. painted frames in stock (if any size is missing we should get it back in 10 days latest) as well as the "ready to paint" version. Especially the RTP frames are very popular. Designing your own creative paint job might help you to not loose your MIND while you have to wait for Shimano or SRAM those days.

We can recommend you some custom painters or OPEN partners that offer custom painting if needed. Just send me a mail and I make the connection.

Filmed in Barcelona? I think I recognize a few of those roads... Maybe?

Hi Andy, as you know we have just received the Min.d frame here in Vancouver. Which Hed wheels did Velodrome use on the Mind and which tires? Are those Hed hubs as well? Thanks, pete

For whatever reason, your email never opens correctly in MS Outlook. Could you ask the tech team why? For whatever other reason MS Outlook forces this open in internet explorer which I've since uninstalled. I'm fairly sure I'm not the only person with this issue.

Greg, I went to my local hobby shop and they had almost the exact correct colour as the green frame in an enamel paint used for painting hobby trains.

I took the Pantone number and did a web search. Custom part is available at a 25.00 US. But I will give your idea a look. Thanks for checking in.
