I went to visit Dave yesterday and am happy to report that he will still be there for quite some time to come, not sure if he'll still build frames but he may be talked into it.

The demise was slightly exaggerated by me, my bad, Dave seemed more resolved to step back when I talked to him at MADE but now says he will still be there but only doing what he wants and not taking on some of the things he used to do that were a bit ill advised for challenging customers that ate up way too much time and energy.

He's doing just as fine as ever, had a great visit as always, he is liquidating a bunch of stuff he will not continue to offer so I bought one of his mile long Ti SP's, still a bit spendy but I've thought about one for a long time and finally pulled the trigger before they're gone.

As always, he's still glad to help but he's going to be picking and choosing what he takes on a lot more selectively from now on I think.
