On the way

October 8, 2009

Production has begun on the first run of fenders, codenamed ClankPlank (thanks, hsubox).

Trim-up of the fenders has been greatly expedited by Leo, the new member of the ClankWorks fabrication corps.

Leo, a 1940s-era craftsman bandsaw, was always hiding in the corner of my childhood garage. Dad always spoke of getting it back up and running, but never had the time or need. I rescued it a couple years ago, and now, after a light sanding, oiling, and a new blade, Leo is out of retirement and dutifully slicing through our freshly pulled fenders.

In other news: Minette of Ray-Min Shoulderwear kindly invited us to display a few products at the newly formed <c> Space Collective gallery as part of their first friday Penn Ave Unblurred event. Be sure to stop by 4823 Penn Ave on Friday, the 6th of November!

Welcome to ClankWorks. We love making things for bikes, but due to external personal reasons, and relocation efforts, things will be on hold for an indefinite period of time. Many of you have been writing recently about product availability and updates, and we apologize about the lack of response to these inquiries. Responses will be made if time permits, so feel free to inquire further should you desire. Thanks for your understanding and support over the past few years.
