Friday PicFest No.82

Ready for action. Room for bigger tires opens up a lot of possibilities with just a wheel change.

There's some work to do yet, but initially it came out pretty good. I've got some orange peal in the clear or bubbling under the clear on the silver. The red candy all turned out great, 100% Powder at the moment but I'm wondering if a wet clear would have been better

Another 953 Friday....

This one does not have its final finish yet, but its getting close....the headtube will be painted and so it has not been brushed out.

[Dazza]

no making the frame shots this week, I have been busy with Mum and her broken ankle
but frame building content prevails
Bevan's Klein is now ebay fodder
as he collected his new cycle with recycled parts
The frame uses a set OS Compact lugs.
Sloping top tubes are super for getting one's handle bars higher and still looking sweet
Ginger and I are on an Airbus, or is it a Boeing in a few hours to the USA?
so like Dave and Karin
We on holidays from now (= vacation)
catch up with you bunch of Gladdies in three weeks time..........

[Craig Ryan]

First one out of the new booth. Needs sanding and a finish coat.

Hi Guys,

This week it's showing off our new new top of the line MTB - Extensa. This one is for a customer in Singapore.

All of the new MTB names represent the technical names for an Australain native tree- The Gum tree (Eucalyptus).

A Eucalytus Extensa is commonly known as a Mallee Gum, native to Western Australia.

This is the first Ti model where we are offering as standard a 44mm standard headtube.

Have a great weekend!

Cheers,
Jarrod

Spending money faster than we earn it seems to be the theme for September & October.

It started with this:

This is the first small tube bike I've built. I really like her except I should have chosen a white DT decal instead of the black. Missed opportunity....

Late to the party this week. Fate had me running into a bunch of "can't turn that down" kind of deals over the past few weeks. This week I worked on bringing them into the family. I also installed additional lighting and painted the rusty diamond plate floor that has been dimming my shop for 2 years...what a difference!

Anvil Brake Boss installation fixture from Aaron Hayes of Courage Bicycles


"They don't make them like they used to" vise from a retiring machinist at my day job.


My wall of Anvil fixtures is complete. Main Tube Mitering System bought from Drew Guildian. Precision t-slot plate came with the granite surface plate I recently bought.






High quartz 10" thick 36" x 48" granite inspection table. Isolation stand damaged in transit. Finally got the granite slab off the stand and will now repair it.


Oh yeah. I build frames too. This is Maietta #50. My new personal road bike. Mostly built at Carl Strong's shop last weekend. This will be the last you see of it until Austin. 4 months to figure out the most kick-ass paint I can think of.
