It began in 1998 with a moment of inspiration…..a bicycle trailer
that transformed into a bicycle case. The B.O.B. trailer provided
the perfect platform to develop the concept around. |

After experimenting with soft case ideas, trials with hinged panels
began. This is the first rendition of the panels using hardboard and
a fanning hinge design. |

With a workable concept in place, the CELLO began to emerge. Vertical
and horizontal hinges, a center cover with quick release crossbars,
and an adjustable bracket system were key areas of development.
This is one of 10 prototypes built for travel testing.
