A8 News wallowa.com July 15, 2015 Wallowa County Chieftain BIKE: Hunt begins for hidden Wallowa treasure Continued from Page A7 CHIEFTAIN: What can you tell us about your design process? RYAN: We approached it as if the Wallowas was the cli- ent and the rider. The bike we built is based on our JB Racer mountain bike but we ¿tted the Wallowas design with a ridged fork and built the frame to ac- cept bags and extra camping gear for longer adventures. CHIEFTAIN: Were there any special challenges you faced in designing this 7 Won- ders bike? RYAN: The overall athe- istic need to ¿t the style of the landscape and culture. That was the most fun part of the process but also the part that we consid- ered the toughest. The bike de- sign was a combination of other designs we have done but mak- ing the style and function Àow together is the hardest part. OSPREY: Birds, nest moved Continued from Page A7 “We wanted to give the birds a pole, and we asked Pa- ci¿c Power if they’d put one in for them. They really went to a lot of trouble and expense to do this. A lot of moving parts had to be organized,” Baker said. Paci¿c Power had spent some time deciding how to move the nest with the least amount of disturbance to the birds, when a wind storm blew the nest off the tower about two months ago. Unfor- tunately the nest contained the year’s osprey eggs. The com- pany decided to take advan- tage of the situation before the birds started building another nest in the same place. In fact, the osprey started hovering over the their old loca- tion, but the birds switched their allegiance to the new pole be- fore it was completely installed on June 11. This was helped along by putting some bits of the old nest on the new pole. Baker said he talked to a biologist at the Oregon De- partment of Fish and Wildlife about the possibility of the fe- male osprey producing more eggs and was told it would depend on how much energy the female had. As it stands, the osprey seem happy with their new digs and Baker doesn’t think they’re going elsewhere in the near future. In the meantime, Baker and his wife, Tarrah, enjoy watching the osprey in their new home. “This is good for everybody — both the birds and us,” Baker said. CHIEFTAIN: Great bike design teams, like any other team, thrive with the diverse skills of their members. What individual strengths do each of you bring to the process? RYAN: We are a small company and it’s mainly Tony and I who do all the designing and building but we both have opinions about how a bike should look and function. To- ny’s background is more root- ed in mountain biking and I do Open 11am-10pm, Wed-Sun HIGHWAY 82, LOSTINE 541-569-2246 Stay Connected On Facebook Wallowa County tains. CHIEFTAIN: What in- spired the name of the bike? RYAN: The word Komore- bi (Kom-oh-rebby) means sunlight ¿ltering through the leaves of trees in Japanese and we thought this was one of those feelings that sums up the essence of bike touring and bike packing really well. Those quiet mornings in the woods making coffee around a camp¿re. The sunlight just coming up over the moun- tains through the trees. Ko- morebi is also the name of a team of women riders who we sponsor who ride and explore some remote areas of the pa- ci¿c NW on bikes we built for them. The Chieftain will contin- ue to post the clues for the scavenger hunt to our Face- book page as they become available. Good luck, and may the best hunter win!
