When we last spoke with Chris Currie — the man behind Ministry Cycles and the striking Psalm 150 frame — he had just sent a prototype frame off for lab testing, hoping to move into production if all went to plan. Unfortunately, things didn’t work out that way, but Chris made some design changes and is still working toward offering frames for sale.
With the latest V3 frame off for testing, it was a good time to check back in with Chris to hear all about what’s happened over the last two years to get here; what goes into lab testing & why it’s important; what he’d do differently with the benefit of hindsight; and a whole lot more.
