the passing of a master.

i just read that ernest csuka of alex singer fame died today in france. he took over the production of alex singer bicycles in 1964 and has since passed on production of the bikes to his son. there is more detailed information on the velo orange blog. this brings up the point during the holiday season to take the time to give thanks for family and friends around you.

thanks for all the kind support and business for ira ryan cycles over the past year and i hope that 2010 is good, safe and has lots of cycling adventures for everyone.  happy holidays and tailwinds!
