BikeCAD spotting in Sweetpea video

Sunday, September 2nd, 2007
I’m proud to have Sweetpea Bicycles of Portland, Oregon using BikeCAD Pro to design their frames.  I love their bikes and their philosophy.Natalie Ramsland from Sweetpea was recently featured in this HP promotion. Natalie does an awesome job of presenting herself and her company in this clip.  However, BikeCAD pretty much owns this video between the 0:39 to 0:40 second marks.  Check it out!
