Named for NASA Project Gemini, since it’s the bike after Mercury. This is the first of a pair of bikes, one mountain and one road. They will reflect a snapshot in both disciplines of my bike design techinque. They will share several design cues. They will proabably be painted the same color.
Since these will be a pair of twins under the Gemini name, I chose Alpha (mtn) and Beta (road). These are the techncal names for Castor (Alpha Geminorum) and Pollux (Beta Geminorum), the mythological twins and the brightest stars in the Gemini constelation.
