When you find youself in danger,
When you're threatened by a stranger,
When it looks like you will take a lickin', (puk, puk, puk)
There is someone waiting,
Who will hurry up and rescue you,
Just Call for Super Chicken! (puk, ack!)

Cheers!

Until next week!

Ronde, ronde, ronde!

My East Coast Test Organization (ECTO) has become known as Flying Dog Racing this year, and they're based out of Frederick, MD. This and the 650B before it are going out there after a trip to the ceramic coater's. I'm really liking the chainstays and I'm gonna go ahead and buy a whole bunch of 7/8" tubing pretty soon.

Should be fun to start work on it next week:

Making headway this past week in 'downtown' 03082. Welding. Fat bike test building. Riding. More welding. Making round things on lathes. Bending metal... Good stuff.
