 This video is brought to you by Squarespace, from websites to online stores and even marketing tools and analytics. Squarespace has got you covered. 7.21 a.m. in the morning. Still in the freezer, one for now. Really hard to do with one hand actually. Blunt scissors, it's going well. No worries, join the tower for that. Oh, you got one there, enjoy. So welcome back to the Friday vlog series, where today we'll see little Ruby. She's picked up a bug from school. Don't worry, it's not the coronavirus. There's a bug going around the school. She hasn't eaten for about 24 hours. So this morning she woke up and the only thing she felt like was a lemonade icy pole. We're sensible parents. We don't normally do that at that time of the morning, but she got one of those into it, just to get a little bit of energy back. But in today's video, we'll split it into two parts, that's per normal. Part number one, got a couple of design options for the windspace and I'm keen to get your thoughts. Choose the right design before we lock this thing in to get painted. Part number two, what's been going on behind the scenes. So before we get into point number one, I wanted to preface this video with saying, I don't think I've done a good enough job with setting expectations with many new subscribers and new supporters to the channel about what actually happens here on a Friday. Here he is, Captain Waffler. Get to the point, mate. And the reason why I say this is last week I published a video, SRAM versus Shimano, why I choose SRAM. And it was interesting, I was essentially responding to lots of questions I was getting from channel supporters in that video and that's why I created it. But just before publishing it, I realized that this is gonna hit a lot of people and the Friday vlog series, I tell personal stories. It's not necessarily a sit-down tech show. So I wanted to inform you if you're new to the channel or if you're thinking about subscribing, what actually happens on a Friday is we keep it casual, it's kind of random family stuff, kind of like this. So we're out for breakfast the other day and my two girls draw a little picture of Daddy. What do you reckon? We're jumping in the pool. Yeah. Are you ready, Holly? Oh my God, everybody's ready. We're messing about and also we're talking about bikes but it's a lot more laid-back, casual, having a bit of a laugh, cycling family, all that kind of stuff. If you're up for more of the sit-down, talking about tech, products, et cetera, that happens on a Wednesday. So I just wanted you to know that before we get in to this Friday vlog series. So check this out. This is like a booby trap for getting into my house. The gate is going to swing back in my face. Someone's put a chair on the other side of this gate. So it's hard to open it and I've got to go down these stairs. Okay. And I'm trying to hold a camera now as well. This gate's trying to swing back. Oh, shit. See? There's the chairs right there. So I can't even open the gate properly and just swing back. Now you're causing the final booby trap. Can we get the bike in? Gary. Yes. Cam Nicole, tell me that. Painting or something and then. Okay, so I've just got off the phone with Gary from Carbon Steed. Him and his team are going to be painting this bike in the next week or two and he's given me a bit of an education about the process which I wasn't overly familiar with. So I explained to you shortly what that's going to look like and also there's two options that we have to paint this bike. I'm keen to get your thoughts. I'm about to show you here but before I show you those options. I just want to thank today's video sponsor being Squarespace. If we actually have a look at my wife's website here which was built just recently. It's on a Squarespace platform and you can see how clean, simple, yet intuitive it is. And my wife who's a non-techie personally loves how easy it is to go into the backend, altered text, layouts, color schemes, et cetera without needing any development skills.

See all the relevant details below in the video description area. So get a good look at it. This is the last time we'll see the windspace. My windspace anyway, looking like this. We have two options that I'm keen to share with you. Keen to get your thoughts on. So let's have a little look here. So you can see the first option is a white and black option and essentially I've done two things. We've changed the windspace logo back to their original logo which is much, much better in my opinion. And we've added some personal touches that being a coaching business I started in 2009 being the RCA or the Road Cycling Academy. Originally I tried the Road Cycling Academy on the down tube but it didn't look great. There was just too many letters and I kind of like honoring the windspace logo with some personal touches to it. The next option is red. I was aiming for like a Ferrari red but this red might be a little bit off a Ferrari red to be honest but I am personally drawn irrespective to the white and black over the red. White and black versus red. White and black versus red. What do you think? Keen to get your thoughts below and I just wanted to thank Joe and the windspace team for doing me a little special favor here with these design jobs. Just know the windspace once did offer design services but because they're so busy and under the pump in a good way at the moment they're not offering these services but they are happy to provide any vector files etc to help people with custom paint jobs. Now the process with Gary and his team from Carbon Steed it's going to be a three day process. It's not going to take three days to strip and repaint this but it's done over three days so I need to find a way to be able to be in Brisbane to film the process of the sanding, the painting and then the finishing so I'm hopeful of being able to do that next week given family and life logistics if not the following week at the latest. Now just know that Gary and his team they don't just offer bike painting they also offer carbon fiber repair I need to repair that after that ding and as a result they're well versed in all things carbon fiber so Gary is going to provide his thoughts general thoughts after he does a bit of an overview of the frame once it's been sanded back and then we have Raul Lucia from Lucia Technic doing the full inspection I'm yet to confirm an exact date I'm trying hard Raul's been very busy but it's either going to be mid to late March we'll have this thing painted then we can finally get it built up I know some people are getting impatient and so am I but we're doing this thing the right way taking through all the necessary steps so we can get to the end of the process and we've got a pretty cool story to share so if you're excited about the paint job the inspection make sure you give the video a like and if you're yet to subscribe and you're keen to see all these videos make sure you do it below hit the bell to ensure you get notified of when videos go live and let's go to part two of this video I'm filming you taking photos of our herbs this is good content so what's been going on behind your scenes Alice? behind my scenes behind my scenes so Alice was surfing in the surfboard smash from the face and she had a massive egg on her cheek I've got a video actually I've got a video? oh people can see it okay whatever Ruby has got it's in my system and I haven't eaten all day as a result I find if I fast when I'm feeling a bit crook it's a good opportunity for my body to fight whatever is in the system as opposed to piling food in so I'm fasting today feeling a bit light-headed and weird and hopefully I don't get sick and Rossi's eating some what's Rossi eating? some broth meat? the spoils of bone broth the spoils? yeah the spoils of bone broth bone broth I can't even talk about it what's been going on behind the scenes? well I've also got this frame here so we're now already in on SRAM Access E-Tap so I am hopeful I'll have that group set within the next week and there's a bike shop in Brisbane that have put their hands up awesome to get this thing built up so hopefully within two weeks as well this thing will be built and ready to go so what are we doing here? this is vegan friendly? wait till you see the layer of fat that's going to come up to the surf so this this would have been about 5 litres of water and so over the 48 hours this has leached all of the collagen and minerals out of the bone and it's going to be so nourishing for us thank the mother nature superfood what else? I can't think we'll just catch you in the next video
