Sky Yaeger has left its mark on the world of cycling since 1970. His years in the White has given us and shook models as the "Milan" and Jose "San". He also introduced the speed of the world, only the first generation of ATB (boss Bianchi BASS, Buss must, Diss, SISS, Sass, sissy, mold, must and Lewis). Since he joined Corsair in 2006 shows that freedom has made your imagination and sense of design in the desert. The results are wonderful.Moto Corsair are unlike anything the world has ever seen. Who could imagine a bicycle frame, galvanized Yaeger come?
I wanted to understand the design philosophies and motivations Yaeger, so I asked to do an interview. I was very happy when he accepted.
Q: You have in the industry for a number of years. Could you tell us something about your history with bicycles and businesses?
A: My first 10 speed, as it was called, was a bike that I bought usedin 1970 for $ 60.00. I was in second year high school and was a senior I did not know that was the only other bike to school. Cycling is not cool, but I loved the freedom. All my friends had the use of a vehicle, so it was not a driver's license until I was in college and not a car until I was 30 years. I worked in a Schwinn shop in the '70s and later worked on the famous Yellow Jersey bike shop in Madison, during and after school. In the late '80s I wasSuntour marketing director for the United States – and if the Japanese, has joined the company has grown in the United States – Bianchi. I was there for 17 years and moved to Capri 2 years ago.
Q: The product line motion seems to be practically free from Corsair Shimano. Why?
A: It was not the goal, but rather the result of model combination, since no bikes with derailleurs. We have 3 bikes and 3 single-speed bike on the center line now. The Folsom is a Shimano coaster brake hub, that Japan is the personalizationfor us, with a long handle. I love all the inside pages, but the time for Shimano is much more than now, with SRAM. The new i-Motion 9-SRAM Center is the only school with 9-speed inside. The internal SRAM centers more user-friendly cable connected to the center, outside of change utility 's gut, driving the new generation, when you reject a problem. Centers of high quality and specifications of the Germans is also distinguished our bikes from anything else out there, because wethe only company in North America with the i-Motion 9 hub.
Q: Do you transfers to the past, thinks that once the specification for other gear bike?
Put A: As long as we can be a hard drive continuously in the market weight of the team was able to live derailleurs are not finished. I have nothing against a change of speed! I can not imagine a bike with technical clothing, yes. To navigate in most urban areas, butmotorcycle inner hub makes sense, given all the advantages. There is a reason why cycles are the axis of the Interior, the most common form of bicycles in Europe, where the primary use of bicycles for transportation.
Q: How is the average speed of many "urban cyclist" should be?
A: For most cities, with flat terrain, in my opinion, has 3 speeds enough. It 'true that there are thousands of people a mountain town fixie cruising speed as SF, depending on the rider and the intended use.We see people who were riding fixie you want a more useful guide 3.
Q: My project bike are very different from that offered by another company. What inspires them? There is a thread that links the design combines all motorcycle classes?
A: My experience in art and design, and I have the inspiration from everything, but look at the cars and great architecture. In most societies, bike, there are many people in motion on the market plays a rolevery rarely the luxury of developing a design model of a single sheet of paper were, and returned to production. I think of them as a complete declaration and integrated.
Q: I have the feeling that you have a good collection of bikes. Tell us about some of his favorites.
A: I have a new Pegoretti steel bolts, which are very beautiful and rides like a dream. My bike is built around an alloy / carbon cycle, cross-frame I designed, which ran asa dream, with 700 x 28C tires. Continental tires on this bike, some 3,000 miles of them without a plan. Another favorite is a steel frame Dedacciai carbon rear triangle. What matters is the journey, my favorite is the one I just finished cycling. I love all the materials of the frame, steel and Ti is upstairs. 'll Campa, Shimano and SRAM.
Q: If you do not need to worry about cost, anxiety or other secular issues of commercial viability, what would be yourVersion of 'The perfect bike? "
A: There is a bicycle "perfect", but I suspect that someone is happy that this trip was going. Moto is a nightmare for someone else. There are few things in life are very different and personal, such as bicycles and can customize your trip is part of the complaint. I like to see all the patrons for bikes based on the fixed gear gallery. They have about 8,000 bicycles. When you speak,I draw for U.S. dollars, a million deaths in my turn, would have little weight with the belt motion city center with integrated functions such as lighting and locks, integrated transport for the chassis.
Q: Where do you see the bicycle market in the United States and industry will be in the next ten years?
A: If gas prices continue to rise, you see the sale of bicycles and passengers continue to grow. Fortunately, the component is to recognize that most engineeringand dollars of R & D is needed to resolve the inner technology. I really want to see puncture resistant tires, make the trip as pretty crucial TPI 120 games and disc brakes, do not rub too much. I would like to see all the technology invisible, like a machine or a computer, cyclists are not intimidated by the informal suspension components, and manages various dishes with 4 levers.
Q: Sales of electric bikes to increase throughout the world including the United States. Have you ever thought of designing andCapri e-bike?
A: No.
Q: What do you mean?
A: All types of motorcycles are good. Each company makes a fine bike. All types of motorcycles and all riders are equal. When the waves or someone who says "hello" in our way of saying "Hello." Do not drive the process time of his life in the bike path.
Q: What do you want for lunch?
