Starting a fillet brazed road frame, tinned:



Finished off last weeks road frame:



And this is the reason why my winter is so damn busy, my family have a "little" truffierre where the Tuber Melanosporum i.e. French Black Truffle lurks, ready to be sniffed out by our ever faithful hounds.

I keep telling myself I'll post here more often but I ALWAYS run out of time and it never happens.

A townie I built for Sarah who's just under 5' 2" but really wanted 700c wheels

David's big-tyred road bike with long reach brakes and fitted with 700x28c Conti Grand Prix tyres, ready for some long rides, gravel and commuting



Started working on an XCr bike for Ian with some polished lugs but havent taken any photos yet
Part of the shipment I recieved from Dazza the other day:

[ApplemanBicycles]

This went out to Thailand. The customer wanted a unique bike. I added a layer of colored carbon fiber to recreate the Thailand flag. This theme was used on the frame and AppleStem bar combo. There is red/blue carbon that flows along the top tube and seat stays up the seat tube. The custom AppleStem Handlebar was made to match the frame for a truly custom and unique package! More detail on the blog.

Move over Sizzlelean... here comes the bacon! This is bird is all 35 and 39 mm tubes with a sexy sweet seat mast. It was something I've been wanting to do for a year or so now and suddenly I've gotten a couple orders for them at nearly the same time. I guess the universe is a little crazy like that. Anyway, bike 2 from the new spray booth and I must say that I'm so thrilled to have the time and creative freedom to really pull off the scheme that I envisioned. Many thanks again to the peeps who've helped me get here.

Some before and after of a little custom paint work. Its hard to tell, but the white is "Hot Rod Sparkle White" that has a cool prism effect in the sun.

Thank you!

Dave

Man, this thread is always inspirational. (Or, in my case, aspirational since the killer work being done here gives me something to shoot for.)

Son of FrankenFrame came back from powdercoat looking pretty.

Bright bike, dark heart. Perfect then.

She is orange. Really, really orange.

The powdercoat came out decent. Not perfect, but not bad looking either.

White cable housings for pure bling. Look smashing against orange.

Nice ass!

All built up and ready to ride. I gave her some Norwegian on the downtube in honor of my grandmother. I believe it says "good feelings."

Sent a 700x40ish bike/fork to paint, finished a 29er no-file frame that got picked up, and started and am close to finishing a 650B MTB, and a 26" bike I built 8yrs ago came to visit.

Better late than never. We delivered the sweetest fendered road bike this week. Dura-ace with King R-45 rear hub, Supernova front hub and light. Built for long hard days in the saddle.













As always, there are a lot more pictures on our flickr page. Have a look.

[VertigoCycles]

we made a new one of these:

Luckily she only cries when she's awake.

when I get a spare 15 minutes, I go drill a few holes in what will be my new tube mitering fixture.

Hopefully the baby will soon realize that her world isn't as confusing as she thinks it is and I can get back to bike work.
