Month

I need to start rethinking my data management system. On the upside, I was able to cross several of these off today. Some days I have to selectively scrub to make room for new additions. Some eye candy for the late crowd:

Just a quick post to say that I’m still here, and still working (albeit a bit slower after the aerial maneuvers). Progress on K’s rando bike is moving along quite well. Sorry for the gaps in coverage, here are a few shots to help make up time: At some point I managed to build the fork, stem and braze up the frame. I still have the clean up, braze ons, bridges and two racks before this goes off to paint. J

Any time you can say “over the embankment”, “airborne”, “upside down” and “no injuries” in the same sentence it has been a good day.

Literally. Tubes are in, parts are on order, and tubes are starting to be prepped and mitered. This years first bike will be fully integrated with frame, fork, rack, stem et all. I’ll be working out a few ideas on this one- stay tuned!
