Well, on a not so fine day in Indianapolis we got to enjoy a great tour of the fairly new Zipp and SRAM facility a bit north of this passionate speed crazy town. Several folks from Zipp who did not make the trip West to support athletes at the Accenture 70.3 California at Oceanside were fantastic hosts and here are some images from that visit.

The new Zipp building looks great even on a cold rainy day.

Various interesting cycling art pieces are lined up in the wide open lobby.



Now that is a look that many triathletes might appreciate in their home.



The same is also likely true for this massive Zipp disc clock.

Quite a few historic bikes are spread out in this massive facility and this one has all the employee signatures.

The warehouse is gigantic and here is pretty much all the RockShox inventory for the customer service crew. Usually one item of each product in house.

Chris Blackwell is the test lab operation manager and we interrupted his busy day.

Here are some of the bumps used to test various wheels. The bigger one is one of many for mountain wheels and the others are for road wheels.

Above the test lab is a hall of fame of Zipp wheels and a great look back in history.

Here is a disc that has not been drilled yet, but that is coming next.

Each wheel at Zipp is hand built and trued at this facility.

Manufacturing Engineering Manager James Lipe checks in here, as all employees do along the production path.

This wheel is on the final weighing station.

There are many cool historic race bikes above the cubicles at Zipp.

No matter where you look you can find interesting stuff in this bike eye candy facility.

Jerseys from various teams and victories also have a space.

A very nifty door handle, but there aren't too many doors here.

Here is a look at the complete door.

More old school bike eye candy.

The Zipp 60 clincher wheel should remind many folks of wheels they once had, and brings a deeper Zipp wheel to a less expensive level.

The Zipp 30 replaced the 101 and at $850 puts it in a different price category.
