Dave has a OS compact lugged frame going to Taiwan this week
Dazza has a OS compact lugged frame going to the USA this week.
Dazza calls his OS Compact frames the "Manorina" model after the bell birds and the national park
Two firsts this week.
1. First Ristretto with Di2 internal wiring with battery mounted underneath Non Drive side chainstay
2. First GTB scheme for a Ristretto. This one combines gloss bands with Matt Clear for the remaining sections. The gloss and Matt combo works a treat with the 7900 polish/matt finish. Unfortunately a refinished Deda stem in Matt Grey didn't make it in time to the photo shoot. :embarrest:
The GTB bridges the gap between our traditional schemes and our more agressive GTR/X schemes. I've got to stop giving away all my good ideas for customers and having nothing left for NAHBS next year. Don't want suffer from writers block or is that painter/designer block?
Have a great weekend everyone!
Cheers,
Jared
The week in three pictures. A 26" gal's frame off to paint. - Garro.
A fellow framebuilder on this forum should know the owner of this bike based on the logo on the top tube.

Bike race weekend here in Philadelphia. This week I had the current female world champion visiting the shop. It was cool since she thought the "factory" was neat.
Cheers,

Wild times- sanity is hanging on by a thread(thank god for bikes).
Motivation

Predictably oversized steel fork prototype(shown for scale). Bigger is better, mmmkay?

Frank recons that this is somewhere around the 21.000th frame that he has welded(seriously)- it's his second roadbike ever- and he fucking loves it. I can't wait until he gets some glossy pictures of it... dialed. and purple.

See that one nut? That is all that keeps your front wheel on your bike if you buy a $600 bike with front suspension.

I managed to take exactly one picture over the ballers weekend but somehow got my finger too. This is my current cross ride decorated with road wheels.
