Quiet thread lately... if only we had something... oh, all right: Steve gets a new bike for our 20th anniversary - we're calling this paint scheme "Anno20":

The disc nonsense is selling so I want to see what the fuss is about. Plus, carbon rims.

Re: Hampsten Cycles
I know
Just busting chops
Re: Hampsten Cycles
Mr. Hampco needs his chops busted on occasion. What steel did you pick for your homeboy pipes Mr. Steevo?

Well then, Mr. Greg: all Columbus, mostly:
38mm MAX down tube
28.6/31.8 tapered/ovalized HSS top tube
Spirit chainstays
17mm Life seat stays
HSS seat tube
Tapered Nova head tube
Lovingly welded here in Seattle by Todd at R & E, paint by Eric at Colorworks
Looking forward to assembly, photos, and riding - will provide full details as we move along

"Year of the Boar", how convenient!
Re: Hampsten Cycles
And that bike is anything from "Boaring". I like... and his pipe list from above seems to be a pretty good selection.
Re: Hampsten Cycles
Getting closer... and when my knee swelling goes down I can actually ride the thing!

Re: Hampsten Cycles
TL;DR version: It rides great, I take back much of my disc brake-relate skepticism. The Ultegra bits work flawlessly and the brakes are a real hoot in that you can actually stop on a dime. We went with a 32-tooth cog on the rear, short cage rear der, and Kogal OS pulleys so we wouldn't toast the whole mess if I shifted to big/big. The Industry Nine carbon wheels with Compass 32s feel so plush and spin up so quickly... the steel frame and HampCo geometry are exactly as advertised.
And I hope you like our new direction: Version Two

Re: Hampsten Cycles
If you need me to break it in and hold it for a while while your knee gets better, you know where I live Steevo. Looks pretty close to my size too.
Re: Hampsten Cycles
If you can live with a 55cm top tube we could chat... but the knee is getting better!

My new painter sent me this photo from a few years ago - oldy but goody:
