No bike building this week. Took the week between builds for a full on "Operation Shop Improvement". Next week: back to the regular scheduled bike pornery.

Locking cabinets for all sharp things related to bikes and all things associated with that Bridgeport. Used the plywood that was used to protect the shop windows in transit:

Contrast that with what it looked like July 13th, 2011. Can I get a hell yes?

Didn't get any interesting photos of anything build-wise this week but here are a few snaps from my painter.
