that's erik jones, maker of those crappy zo bags. i posted that link in a zo buckle thread or something.. seriously though, super nice guy..he helped plan my japan bike sightseeing itinerary..talk about a storehouse of bike history! major coffee fiend too (as you can tell by the site)..i sent him some jetfuel beans and he sent me back some home roasted brazilian. nice. i'm looking into some unroasted stuff for home now too.. zo always has something good to say about toronto too. i think he really enjoyed his time up here. i was fortunate enough to not pay $400US for one of his bags and it pretty much lives up to its hype. that things's built to last. his bags didn't used to cost that much. one of his bags (used) went for alot on ebay awhile ago.. i think $400+.. and he figured if someone's going to cash in on his bags, it should be the guy who's been making them for the past 20 years. keith/cavernmech knows him a lot better..
scroll down for pics of various zo packs. jim-bob's got lots of stuff.. mentioned something about how he'd hang out with zo's dad back in the day. (??!??!)
