The main story on there now features a modified version of the Simple stem, the System. He’s done a really good job of it and it looks way more tech and way less “simple”. It’s cool to see anyway and I hope it works well in it’s modified state.
The fact of the matter is that during the design stages of that stem I actually had a version that had just about those exact same cutouts, but we decided to go for the more clean, straight forward look.
Thx for linking. Youve got an amazing picture viewer here.…
hey. or hej.
i saw the post on defgrip about your blog. nice simple layout you’ve got going.
it’s kind of funny cause i made a href=“http://bmx-tec.blogspot.com/2009/05/complications-have-arisen.html”>this post on my blog yesterday about the design of simple’s stuff. im an industrial designer and was kind of rambling on about simple things and simple bikes. i was actually admiring the fact that they didn’t do loads of anodized colours, but i suppose you can’t hold out forever. kids want colour!
i used to live in sweden btw, in Malmoe, my wife’s swedish, but now we’re in melbourne.
lastly, i don’t know if you did the weaver decals or not, but they are damn nice.
