Hey Chris, Thanks alot, it was a really cool visit. Richard told me the whole facility was 8,000 sq ft. I was shooting w/ a 55mm lens so everything looks fairly compact in the frame. The layout gave plenty of room in each of the stations and it was very well organized. When we walked around we started with boxed tube-sets and moved station to station through the full construciton process. I was suprised that every bike built in Waterford goes through the same process, one by one. They definitely do 'batches' of a bike as you can see in one of the pics of the red and blue Gunnar's, but it is far from a 'production line'. Much closer to a custom process than I would have expected.
