I love Bike Snob NYC, I’ve been reading his blog for a couple of years and I’m always amazed at how he manages to write such consistently funny anecdotes, not just occasionally, but on a daily basis. I’m looking forward to getting my hands on a copy of his new book, and not just because there’s a Candy Cranks chainring on the cover!!

I designed the cover and the interior of the Bike Snob book. I traced the Candy chain rings for the cover & the title spread of the book. I was wondering how quickly bike brands would recognize there parts and bikes….glad you liked the Candy Cranks reference. I tried several different chain rings on the cover but I kept coming back to the Candy chain rings.
Wish I had a set of Candy Chain rings for my weekly tuesday night track racing at the San Diego Velodrome!
