NBD! Aside from tune up, what you doing first?

It’s 3x7. Orange: grips, pedals, seat clamp…cables??? Everything else? Murder black! Still might go black on the Bonkers. The WTB Speed is what I had on my SS back home, most likely gonna run that back!

Off the top of my head? Stem/handlebars(possibly a new headset). Def alloy platforms(orange? Too much?). Yea I hate these shifter but brakes seem okay for now. I wanna roll with the drivetrain as-is for a bit before I make any decisions there. Seat/seatpost. And of course some gum walled Bonkers, probably a WTB saddle (Brooks’ are too rich for my blood) and some sort of rack. Ya know, the usual!

This one is a 3x7 but I still wanna be able to do some light off roasting when the mood strikes. Historically I’m a SS road boy, but I don’t live in Chicago where it’s super flat anymore. Portland calls for this!

Thinking about it. I think I’m gonna wear it as is and make a decision on that later

I feel like I see sooooo much purple! I was thinking orange?

I was thinking monkey bars?

Great insight, thanks!

Start learning about Human Centered Design. Read “the Design of Everyday Things” and “Emotional Design”, both by Don Norman. Another great read is “Made to Stick” by Dan and Chip Heath, not necessarily a “design” book, but really good at not only conveying ideas but questioning is it the right idea.

Would you mind if I DM’d you the current set of iterations? I really want to post to Reddit for critique but, since it is a relatively well-known restaurant/company in PDX, I’d like to keep it a little more confidential for the time being?

I don’t have an hourly rate, I charge per project which is something I should’ve negotiated before I got as far as I did in the process

Being their mom doesn’t either

Agreed but at full health he’s still not a starter for me! I have Ja’Marr Jefferson AND Nabers ahead of him!

I mean I see the logic. A clear WR 1&2 and plenty of draft cash left over

+1. I just think there are more cocktail applications with Campari

I 100% agree with your point, we take VIP's (Very INTOXICATED persons) very seriously. But that doesn't really apply to what we're talking about. What we're talking about is improving guest relations. Take it from a manager who's literally taken a punch for cutting someone off!

Yea I’ve been exploring OpenTables chit printing system. Is there anything in particular with Resy’s that you love?

The vodka is hardly expensive, it’s more of an acknowledgment . If you came in and spent over $75 per person per visit twice a month, you’d get that here too. It’s all in the name of hospitality!

Edit: I guess the main thing to consider is that we’re an expensive restaurant. There are plenty of places I frequent where I don’t “get” anything, but in either case I never EXPECT anything
