Super sweet frame and bike!

Is the fork suspension corrected and do you make those?

Thank you!

It's a Surly fork he spec'ed himself, but I built around a 120mm x 29er fork.

PS - don't be a fan, get down on the field & play.
I hate it when people yell at the players & the refs on the TV when their biggest worry is not spilling their chips or running out of beer.........

Now that tube bender is nice and simple!
Is the upper mandrel/form grooved for the tube? What size tubes you use for your two piece seatstays, 5/8" & 3/4" perhaps?

i call it the "Blattener" as it bends and also predictably also flattens - a nice shape.
1/2" - 5/8" - 3/4"
Depends on which side you flip the toggle widgets.
End result the seat stays shown here, and on every s-bend bike.
Also can be used to mod chainstays......

Happy Anniversary... you spent it in a fantastic way!

Indeed!
It's what we do every year, and it always rocks.
nice to step away from the bench for awhile - and, fair warning, we will be out of the country from Nov 10th to Dec 6th.

Hey Garro,

You may have mentioned it in here already, but I'm curious.
If you could recommend one place to go bike touring, where would it be?

What we did for our honeymoon = flew to Temuco, Chile & then criss-cross the national parks of Chile & Argentina back & forth across the spine of the Andes on dirt roads for a month, through the Siete Lagos region.......amazing + the trout fishing was OFF THE HOOK.
Food in Argentina.......ah, man.
I could live in San Martin de los Andes or Lago Traful Traful.
But, Bolivia was amazing, but in a much more sketch-ball manner.
Baja is great.....
NZ is pretty nice, but lots of rain and biting insects.....and, far away.
So yeah, 1st suggestion.
