As promised, some photos of my new IF CJ singlespeed: nothing super exciting, since usually while riding I don't want to stop and take the phone out of my pocket...

What it is made for- I don't baby my stuff.

Hey TBR, it looks like you missed a spot. Get back in the woods and get that thing properly dirty.

crazy part- that was after I had hosed off the really thick crap....I traditionally never use a hose so I just used it to get the giant clumps off. Then I waited it for it to harden and then brushed it off today and washed her with soap and water...after lubing the chain and maybe replacing the pads she will be as good as new.

But as I replay the race as I type out this post I realize I am going to have to shop check my bearings- just remembered that rode through a bunch of water crossings.

I love Stewart but I hate their mud- it sucks.

Nice orange. Better embiggened.

Dialed.

Time to build up my 2001 Club Racer again. It has a Campy 9-speed Chorus set up. I crashed on it 2 years ago which left me a little spooked and I've been riding my other, not as nice, bikes since then. Gotta get back on the horse and see how I fare. Either I'll be fine on it or I'll look at selling it and having IF build a similar frame that can take wider tires. I'll post another pic when it's done, though with work travel that won't be until sometime in June.

My IF SSR I got earlier this year... Love this bike :)

Super Record 2015 mechanical with Enve bars, stem, seatpost and Fizik Arione 00 Giro saddle. :) wheels are custom build carbon rims with king hubs and FMB tubs. :)

Sweet picture. My kids always fight over who gets to use the bike pump.

Soon you will get to teach them how to wrench on Campy

Sweet Ti seatpost, really goes great together with the frame and saddle too

"bad" news is you need the matching stem hehe

Soo good to be outside- grandma bike forever

The good news is I broke that stem this weekend. So, what is a guy to do but order a custom ti stem from Steve Potts.

They have already been informed that touching bikes with Campy components will result in automatic 5 minute timeouts.

I'm not sure when this new website went live but it looks great. Some new bikes in the galleries which look awesome (as always)

The TiFLW makes my heart go pitter-patter

I spotted that too - on one of my now-regular checks on available frames. Got Corvid lust again, had to leave.
