Hope you guys don't mind me kicking this off early but I go to the shop & then the outside world does not exist & then it's dark out.
JF's Ice Blue bike in sub zero temps & DH's bike just pre-paint. It should be british racing green for next FNL - I love having my painter 10min away!

An ACB "Four Seasons Stainless" bike that will be off to France...It has some "traditional" features I like, like quill stem, Veloflex tubulars (mounted to Ambrosios and King R45s), SKS pedals with toe clips & straps, Honjo Fenders & etc......Oh..it also has stainless fork blades.

There are a few more photos here if anyone is interested: Eric's Four Seasons 953 - a set on Flickr

Thank you for taking a look!

A Christmas present for a special lady this week, still need to attach seat stays and braze ons.
Twin TT step through lugged frame:



What is a ladies bike without the stereotypical hearts?



I love making seatstay caps!



My workshop is close to the family farm that I grew up on, I have to drive an hour and a half to get there but there are perks including:

Freshly caught yabbies for dinner (I think you guys call them crawdads?)



And soon the blueberries will be ready:



And finally an after work treat:



Made in a small craft brewery in Japan using Edo period barley and hops

More product testing.



More frame building.

My wife and I are visiting my family as an early holiday. Pop inherited a nice 1938(we think) South Bend from his neighbor across the street:


My bonus for helping him heft it around was this nice little US made Nicholson needle file set-


A few more days of much appreciated family time, then back to it...

I know it seems like I am beating a dead horse with the pics of the brown MTB but in the last round I had a loaner fork on this and this week I was lucky enough to have bike industry veteran Chris Firth staying on my couch to snap a couple of pics of it.

Time to dig into the scrap bin to whip up some trinkets for Christmas presents, hope the season is treating ya'll well.

And we acquired several new pieces for the Signal shop including:





And most impressively:



Video of how this thing works .

And another recent bike that went out this week:







More tool pictures and a lot more pictures of the green bike on our blog. And a few more words and things too.
