George French
Ride On Interview

This three part interview with George is incredible. It covers everything from George’s first desire to start GSport, all the way to his present day involvement with Odyssey, Sunday, and Fairdale.

As a bonus, there’s even vintage footage of George slaying some huge handrails!

George French:
3D Printing

Hit up Ride UK for an interesting piece about 3D printing with George French. This particular blurb piqued my imagination:

Many years ago I read a novel called “The Diamond Age” by Neal Stephenson. This was published in 1995 (thanks internet) and envisages a future where everything is “assembled” (and disassembled) in the home by a machine that would be the ultimate vision for a 3D printer. If you imagine being able to build things atom by atom and you could pull carbon dioxide out of the air and strip off the oxygen then you would have a source of carbon and might as well make everything out of diamond. Hence the title’s reference to a Diamond age in the same way that you might think of the Stone, Bronze, Iron and Silicon Ages.

We’re many years away from that but definitely plausible. In the meantime, George has been whipping up some prototypes using his 3D printer. Click HERE to read the rest of the interview.

As I type this, there’s a large fluorescent orange shipping container getting unloaded in the back. Expect photos and such after they’ve been inspected. Any guesses on what’s inside?

Interview up over at ESPN

There’s an interview up of Mr. George French over at the ESPN site. In it, he talks about various products from the G-Sport line.

G-Sport’s roots lie in the classic DIY workshop scenario: rider breaks old parts, uses combo of an engineering mind, burly old lathes, grease and logic to build new long-lasting bike parts, then starts selling these parts, develops more parts, swaps old lathes for computerized CNC set-up, eventually joins Odyssey to innovate more parts, wins a few design awards, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Give it a read and then put some bunnies on your monitor.
