This one I was personally quite proud of, (as normally the word proud is not in my active vocabulary:-) my favourite Blog, that

I follow for years, published our bike. Especially engadged is very rare on Transportation, Cars etc. normally they are very good on Mobile Phones and other Gadgets, but rarely Bikes or e-bikes. So I really liked this one. But we were also on Highsnobiety, Gizmodo, Wired and more then 300 different blogs from all over the world.

The next day I checked Google News for some articles and I had a real shock:

We launched Grace on Grace Patricia Kelly 80th Birthday (November 12, 1929 – September 14, 1982)

This, I swear, was not planned. It was a pure coincidence. I did not choose the Brand name because of Grace Kelly alone.

I saw that connection only as a Homage to the great Style of the 50-60th: Kennedy, Kelly, Hepburn, Cary Grant… The French Rivera, the Style and the Grace of this time.. I know that our product is different from this Style, but at least riding a Grace in 2010 brings back the Grace we lost in the last 50 years. So I was very happy that by conincidence we hit that date for a Graceful Party:-)
