Nice, e-RICHEY. just picture the 14' we got here last year, huh? working on a 29er for TX and finished a 700c all-rounder with Dazza's wonderful dropouts, Dedacciai stays, Kaisei HT, True Temper TT/ST/DT.
back from Melbourne
saw the Poms flog the Aussies in just over three days
then road nationals
into the toil again
Cadenzia lugs, the first XL horizontal lugs to exist and with all the decent features a smart builder desires!
Columbus tubes, good stuff!
No shims in the seat tube due to the correct size seat post!
A fixie, for real on the road intimacy
No photo shopping of pics done here
what you see is real! :blink1:
my run of mill normal daily frame building work in the 21 st Century uses what I design and produce
no exploitation required, or desired
Trying to get into the swing a bit more. Could be landing gear could be a couple of trials bikes....regardless...fun under the hood with these 'blue blockers' ie nothing until 540nm
Hey, thanks for looking-
Not much work this time, I've been playing with BikeCad a lot.

My current build pics are behind the curtain right now to reveal in Austin. Meanwhile, I simply couldn't pass on this one. $200, running, zero runout chuck, 1.375" bore, and an hour from my shop. A real circus getting it out of this guys barn though...

Big head tubes abound around here right now, this is one of four that's I've done in the last two weeks. Also the new Cane Creek 110 level EC44 headset for tapered steerers that I had custom anodized pink to match some pink King parts and the super duper Luxe Wheelworks wheelset that will be going on the bike. Also the top of my main tool box.
A race bike with fenders and racks. And a little silly 6-pack hauler that I felt like making.

Most recent fork, rack, decaleur. If it doesn't make sense, ask questions.

FNL starts on Wednesday now? WTFO?
Why don't we call it Every Night Lights and be done with the pseudo formality and folks can just start ENL threads at random?
Da' '62 is just about ready for a little color touch up.

And a little more shop oriented, our Lista CNC Tooling Center arrived. At 12-feet long it was a little bigger than the 8-footer we were expecting. I'll probably update it tomorrow with some assembled pics.

Lots of fender builds lately. This is how I like to mock things up to get a constant tire/fender gap.

White = racing for me when it comes to material in the spring, summer, and fall. But in the winter, shiny black is beautiful.

Ready for some gate time.
