I don't know how you guys do it every week but good for you.

This Colnago just came back in for photography. From 2013, year of the Colnago. The owner is in love with it ,rode the hell out of it all summer and it is gorgeous.
His signature on one side Mr. Colnago's on the other.

One piece leather wrap. Swoon. Leatherwrap.jpg

Some frames waiting for thread chasing and such. I was just told today that I have entered my green period. Is green trending?

A Cervelo, custom painted a few years ago (not by me), in for a do over. I found the original yellow underneath the repainted yellow. Pfff. It all had to come off. Now waiting for some sanding, a pearl white Cervelo and banding with some final sanding on the fork.

Like Craig said, it's been cold and paint hasn't been so happy.
I built myself a large hot box in the spray booth so I can keep frames warm between coats. My clear also likes to be baked right away so I finish the clears and pop the parts in the hot box while I clean my guns and freshen up. This winter has been a bitch but I'm working it out as I go.I have racking that slides in too as I do a large variety of stuff. Versatility is my God.

Our saddle bags in five colours.

Getting started on; this Mercks, a mixed media by that other Canadian Brand, and a handful of Legnanos from the mid 50's to the mid 60's.

I hope everyone is enjoying their winter,

Found this Leatherman Super Tool 200 lying in the gutter riding on highway I-70 between Vail and Minturn around 99ish. It sat at the bottom of my toolbox for about 8yrs till I started working with bamboo, somehow it made the journey with me to NZ. Turned out to be a very handy tool, perfect for scoring inside of seat tube.
