Default STR goes Big Time

Hi All.

I’ve been working in the background with Dino, George and Bret trying to create a custom E-Z UP Shelter for STR.

I’m proud to announce that it’s finally done!

The idea came to me a few months ago when I was pitching a promo program to Trek/Gary Fisher and I started thinking “Why don’t I have a custom shelter made up”. After a few different layouts and ideas as well as a lot of back and forth with Dino and Bret, we have created a one of a kind shelter for STR!

It has to get is picture taken with a few other shelters and goodies we’re making for Trek, but the shelter will be making its debut soon at an event near you!

Since we're bikers and like specs so much, here are a few:

Frame: 6061 T6 Aluminum
Fabric: 500D Polyester - Custom PMS color for STR (CPAI Rated for Commercial use)
Weight: 49 Pounds
Printing Process: 4-Color Process/Custom Color (CMYK)

Thanks Greg for making this a reality, and thanks Dino for also making this happen!

I can't wait to see it at as many events as possible as well. We are hoping to stake out an area at the finish line of the VQ/CC to set this thing up at. If you will be there at the finish line as a spectator and would like to maybe be in charge of getting it there and set up, drop George a PM.
