Tunk Times #18
It’s quiet at the office after a hot weekend but the Tunk antennae aimed at the internet are picking up messages constantly.
Tunk Times #17
Summer rains are here and the perpetually recurring green boom is at its height.
Tunk Times #16
The sun shines sometimes into the pile of brushwood as well, like they say here in Finland. Meaning the feeling is warm and positive for a change! Actual sunshine being a big part of it!

‘Tis the season for bicycles. The cover photo was taken a few weeks ago, and Helsinki has completely changed since, into spring! Gloveless teenagers have been spotted riding bikes to school.

It’s still freezing cold, but the darkness is slowly giving way to daylight. The beautiful sunny and snowy part of winter is starting!

New year, same Tunk business. We are having some extremely cold and beautiful weather here: soft snowy roads and clear skies for a few weeks now.

Greetings from Tunk HQ. The days are short, dark and wet. The nights are long, dark and wet.
Tunk Times #11
The days are gray and November rain is drizzling down.The sun has not been seen since the last newsletter went out, or so it feels. Nothing exciting has happened, mostly boring paperwork and problem solving and head scratching has been done. Money worries, insurance and delivery contracts, parts supplier registrations and such. The reality of running a business really.

We are back home from Bespoked Dresden. The leaves are falling and frost is on the ground here in Helsinki.

Hello and greetings from our actual, physical, permanent-for-now office! This is still being written on the couch though as we don’t have much furniture yet. We will try and have an opening party one day, but for now there is no time to arrange that.
Tunk Times #8
It looks like we will soon have an actual physical location for our office, workshop and showroom in north-central Helsinki. This feels like a major step forward again in making Tunk a “real company” and not just our own weird and long bicycle design project.
Tunk Times #7
Summer holidays have been had and the team is back in the office(s). A three week bike tour, where one’s attention is (almost) completely on other things than work is quite the refresher!
Tunk Times #6
Hello and greetings from our n-th office space (Aleksi’s kitchen). We are looking to rent an actual work space, Tunk showroom and office, for which we are seeing a candidate tomorrow, but for now we are working from wherever happens to be convenient.
Tunk Times #5
Greetings from our temporary headquarters in Uusmäki, Finland. Birdsong and the smell of grilled tofu & zucchini fill our office as we are working on our website and final details of the frames.
Tunk Times #4
Hiker sends their greetings from the underworld. But fear not, we are very much alive.
Hiker news #3
After some holiday time-off from Hiker and other work, we are now back in our offices and starting to roll things forward again.
