True Fabrication Bicycles

Image
True Fabrication was born during a 16-hour car ride home from a weeklong mountain biking trip in Colorado. It was during this car ride home that we (Cody, Clark & Cole) discovered we each had individually been contemplating a way to begin fabricating bicycle frames. We had all been friends for a long time and had spent many years riding, racing, traveling and training together. Therefore, in the summer of 05’ we made a plan to be riding our own “brand” of bicycles during next summer’s annual trip to Colorado. During the course of the next 12 months we acquired a bitch’n set of tools, honed our fabrication skills and perfected our welding. One of us took the 2 weeklong UBI frame builder’s school; another began development of our geometry philosophy and the third finished completion of our logo and branding images. Even though this sounds like we are each polarized in our skill-set, nothing could be further from the truth. Any of the three of us are capable of taking a bicycle fro

Dead athletes' brains show damage from concussions By Stephanie Smith CNN Medical Producer (CNN) -- For years after his NFL career ended, Ted Johnson could barely muster the energy to leave his house. In healthy brain tissue, virtually no protein tangles, which show up as brown spots, are visible. "I'd [leave to] go see my kids for maybe 15 minutes," said Johnson. "Then I would go back home and close the curtains, turn the lights off and I'd stay in bed. That was my routine for two years. "Those were bad days." These days, the former linebacker is less likely to recount the hundreds of tackles, scores of quarterback sacks or the three Super Bowl rings he earned as a linebacker for the New England Patriots. He is more likely to talk about suffering more than 100 concussions. "I can definitely point to 2002 when I got back-to-back concussions. That's where the problems started," said Johnson, who retired after those two concussions. &q
