New kid on the block
A member of our team has started a new blog in our network, theantnerd.blog, that is a chronicle of the tech side of our endeavors in the world of cycling. With updates on our web developments, progress on our bicycle history database, or blurbs about tech mods to a bike, this is the blog to check. If it is directly related to the subject matter of this blog, we will place a clip in the thread.
Another future addition that is in progress, is a blog about cycling style and fashion. Not my cup of tea, so another member of the Ant Mill network team has come forward brimming with ideas. Apparently there is a portion of the cycling world that likes the artsy bags, fancy short pants, and latest trend stuff for their rides. Who knew. Gimme some cargo shorts, a t shirt and a jacket and leave me alone. If you have any suggestions, leave a comment or visit the website and hit the forums. (links listed above in the tabs).

High Tech Vintage

| Excel Icon |
Ever since we have started building our collection of old bicycles, it was evident early on to keep an accurate inventory. I may be a little obsessive on the matter, but there are better reasons than my own quirks to keeping good record. Hours of listing serial numbers, taking pictures, descriptions (things not evident from pictures), and detailed accounts of where they were obtained into an Excel spreadsheet. At first I thought I was taking it a little to far and my OCD nature had gotten the best of me, but in hind sight, it was well worth it. Having made it detailed in sections, not just a flat list, each bike receives a profile of it's own. This way the specifics of a bikes components can be listed for reference for either sale, replacement, or salvage. Tracking exchanged components can be made easier as well.
