I will add a post in my Smoked Out to explain all the details about these new chainstays. I am very excited about them!!

Last but not least this is a bike for a customer Eben. He lives in NYC and can be a real snob:

Not a lot in the workshop this week as Mary Ann and I have been working towards the completion of a big new Llewellyn project
Stay tuned.

I finished off a Custodan frame's metal work. (that is OS tubes)
and got the last parts to finish assembly of Mark's new bike (that is XL tubes and sloping top tube lugs to get his handle bars higher) and that was packed and made it's way to New Castle arriving yesterday.

this frame is about done

Busy putting the finishing touches on my new GTB schemes. First cab of the rank is this Cubnao for local Geelong boy Andy.

This particular scheme is named GTB 78. The 78 refers to our 7/8's Titanium layout. I also have a GTB 34 in the works along with full paint Ristretto steel versions.

Stay tuned for more of these designs to role out the doors in the coming weeks.

Have a great weekend :bigsmile:

Cheers,

Jared

Headed off fishing this early morning. Days off are a must when you have a busy shop!

A Rando going off to Grad school.

Finished building my frame jig this week. Everthing is based on 4.068" stand off with dovetailed centers. The B.B. post is threaded and uses various inserts for centering.

Almost done, another batch.

Just got John's SSCCX bike back from powder and got all the frame prep done.
John won the Cross Crusade singlespeed series overall last season and this frame is the prize for first place
