I'm in dummy axle hell right now; thank you very much snow bikes. For every dropout style I use, I've had to make blocks that hold the dropout end for my mitering fixture. It's cheaper and easier to change the process so I made this around 3AM one night last week when our youngest refused to sleep. It'll do for now until I finish the fixture of my own design.

@velopest is interviewed n this issue of Singletrack Magazine and his Vertigo with the very first 44mm tapered headset is featured. Thanks Jon for the opportunity to build this bike that set off so many firsts by VertigoCycles, on Flickr
One of my favorite people, DrJon, had a sit down with some magazine folk and one of the bikes I made for him got some nice coverage. This particular bike is special to both of us as it was the very first bike to ever have the 44mm tapered headset installed in it. I had the idea rolling around in my head for quite a while and Jon's order provided the kick that got the ball rolling.
