I'm moving to Indianapolis...SURPRISE! Zipp Speed Weaponry offered me a job as a design engineer recently and I took them up on the offer. I'll be moving in the next few weeks, so I have a lot to plan and organize. Indianapolis may be a step down from Boulder in terms of convenience and scenery, but it's a definite "lift-off" in terms of my career as an engineer in the bicycle industry. Some changes of note include buying my first automobile, and for the first time I will be filing my taxes as an independent. I was told that the triathlon scene in Indy is supposed to be "a lot bigger than you would expect", but then again, I wasn't expecting there to be any triathlon scene...On the plus side, there IS a velodrome in town...
If you're planning on watching the Ironman World Championships this weekend make sure to look for the DíMON logo on a few athletes' bikes. Bryan Rhodes is riding the very first DíMON bottle snap prototype on his 2009 Cervélo P3C, and TJ Tollakson has a little treat to show the world on Saturday morning. Unfortunately, DíMON Cycling will not become a reality any time soon as I have committed my ideas and efforts towards Zipp products for the foreseeable future.
Introducing the Tricaerotop! Custom made for the Hawaii Ironman World Championships. (Patent pending, TJ Tollakson)

For now, my only job is to enjoy Colorado as much as I can while I'm still here.

many congratulations, dave, both on the quick success of your own label, and on its immediate failure due to other successes.
