*sigh* met
I don't pay anyone for endorsements. I think people feel obligated because I sell them nice wheels at what they feel is too low of a price. There are worse problems to have.
FWIW - I will chime in here to explain a little of my background for those that don't know...but only because this thread is about me. I don't like to come across as advertising.
I am a 20+ year wrench/avid cyclist. Racer. Long distance, etc. Engineer type. Worked in manufacturing for many years. I have been building wheels for a while for myself and then slowly branched out to building for others. Building for others I have never met before is still a relatively new thing for me (coming up on about 1 year I guess).
PSIMET = Purdue Student In Mechanical Engineering Technology. Thankfully an alum but the handle has stuck over the years.
I was running this as a side business out of the shop I race for (also team manager). Business got too big. I now run an official stand alone business. I am a distributor for White Industries and Alchemy. I am and will be working on some other big names as well (on that note anyone who can direct me to some contact infor for Mavic dealer app is appreciated).
I also source and import my own branded items from the far east.
My "shop" does sales and service of most bicycle components (although not selling group sets for the time being), custom branded product as wholesale and retail, custom wheel builds, etc. I will be branching out into other avenues as time progresses.
I do not sell bicycles. I do not plan on selling bicycles. Too many small minded politics involved with them. Nothing like taking a comodity and trying to make it no longer a comodity with strict distribution policies -> over inflated prices.
I have had many ideas about my own wheel and hub systems that I hope to one day, while leveraging my manufacturing background and contacts, be able to bring to the market.
I'm small time but I am honest, and exacting in my work. I believe that doing good things leads to good things and so far that has been true.
If you have questions - please drop me a line at my site psimet at psimet dot com. Please don't pm me here if you can avoid it.
Apart from that I'll let my customers speak for themselves....
