We’ve arrived in Richmond, VA for the North American Handmade Bicycle Show. Look for us at booth #503. We’re just between Calfee and Cyfac and just across from Black Cat Bicycles.

I’m here with a pre-release version of BikeCAD Pro 7.0. I’m looking forward to showing off the new features including curved tubes, enhanced logo controls, and customizable colour palettes. I’ll also be doing a seminar at 4pm on Saturday. Hoping to come away from the weekend with some good feedback. To purchase a copy of BikeCAD Pro click here.

BikeCAD Pro version 6.52* is finally ready. New features include:

• The option to save and retrieve templates for laying out dimensions, paint schemes and frame styles

• User dimensions can be created horizontally and vertically
• Angular dimensions can be shown in degrees, minutes and seconds

*6.52 includes a correction over 6.51. When selecting drop handlebars, 6.51 did not record the choice of ergo or track style bars. 6.52 can be downloaded from the same source as 6.51.
