If this location looks familiar—and not just for the bike and the forest atmosphere—it's because this is the exact spot on Mt. Fromme that I shot a portrait of the Catalyst on its second trail day. Part 2 of the nsmb.com article is coming together... I hope you're ready!
See below for the comparison shot.
An example of what I call corporate (red)washing - similar to the practice of corporate green-washing where companies use people suffering from AIDS/HIV as a catalyst for selling more products. It is also troubling that this campaign promotes the idea that all people have to do is buy more products to "save the world".

The Litespeed Catalyst road frame was launch in 1994, positioned below the Classic and Ultimate models. The Catalyst was only offered for four years ('94-'97). Litespeed's 1996 catalog highlights the use of butted tubes for the Catalyst's main triangle, but it is unclear whether only straight-gauge tubes were used in 1994 and 1995. It's entirely possible, because in 1996 Litespeed launched the straight-gauge Nachez frame at a lower price-point than the Catalyst, so perhaps Litespeed adopted butted tubing for the Catalyst to help differentiate these two models.

The cable on the 2620 is for a modem, I havent hooked it up just tested it. The blue cable coming out of the 2620 is a console cable. The console cables for the Catalysts are connected to the back.
Bit different from my usual. Just a random shot but I liked the effect the flash had on the subject, paired with the faded black point 😊 Update: I'm gonna try & use this as a subject in future shots, particularly focusing on travel, hence 'TheCatalyst'.

"Catalyst Location: Minnetrista Campus, 1200 N. Minnetrista Pkwy., Muncie, IN. Catalyst was commissioned for Minnetrista by Virginia B. Ball to honor her husband, Edmund F. Ball. The design represents partnership, giving and stewardship which were important ideals of Mr. Ball. It was also intended to represent a century of giving by the Ball family, their stewardship of the land, and Minnetrista as a catalyst in the community. The sculpture was dedicated in June 2004. The artist is Beverly Stucker Precious of Indianapolis.
The completed sculpture is comprised of 32,000 pounds of limestone, 17,000 pounds of stainless steel and 2,000 pounds of dichroic and plate glass. Forty-four hundred hours went into the fabrication of steel for Catalyst, which is 26 feet in diameter."
