Too busy and crazy lately. Light at the end of the tunnel? Images culled from the intertubes...

Also - Velo Genesis in Santa Rosa, CA this week - f-builders will be making a frame onsite for an auction winner. Pretty cool concept.
Just some bits and pieces. 2 back from paint, full builds and pics to come. And a stem, in progress.
