What are the revenue figures for a company like Ridley? Does anyone make any money in this industry?

jc et al-
comparing belgian pros training to your training in new england is like comparing your kid's t-ball practice to fort meyers spring training. same hat; completely different universe. most pros are dumb; but not generally dumb enough to train in freezing conditions if it can be helped; that's why god invented trainers and cheap package charters from zaventem to mallorca.

with fashion week in NY around the corner, the similarities between "SUPERMODELS' and "pros" is apparent: weight + ego

Seriously - you think that's cold? Try training for racing here in New England, where our racing schedule starts proper in last week of March. Those conditions are balmy compared to some o the rides we do each winter - if you live here, you just gotta suck it up and deal with it. Mix in 2-3 quality interval days on the trainer each week, and you've got yourself a recipe for fitness.
It's all about proper layering and mental outlook - sometimes it's motivation enough to head out in the crap, when you know most of your competitors are comfortably indoors (getting slower).

That picture labeled Unpainted Damocles ISP looks more like a Helium. Damocles has the wishbones stays and sharp tube shapes. The Made In China boxes that this unpainted frame is sitting on probably contain the Damocles. To my surprise, my new Damocles ISP was made in China. Guess I shouldn't really be surprised.

Personally, I'd be more interested in seeing the factory they're laid up in than where their toenails get painted...

Negative 5 Celsius, bah--how about negative 5 Fahrenheit (-22 C for the logical types) and windy on my training ride in Minnesota? Beautiful bikes and beautiful workmanship, that is all I can say of the Ridleys. I have had the privilege of putting one or two of these together, and everything just fits.
As it should.

Ampipe FTW! When I was 12 and living in the pre-internet era All the Right Moves was always a good late night score on HBO.

You've got to cage those Katusha frames up. Ornery little suckers.
