Mark's frame / a ride before the rain.

here she sits in the jig looking really cool - it's all brazed up & soaking off the flux in the dunktank for awhile. i'll get some raw brazed & polishing pics up in the next few days.
final pre-brazing alignment check.

this bike took allot of figuring! that's a Phil Wood external bearing bottom bracket with a shimano 105 crank running a single 34 tooth ring and a panaracer 700 x 45 tire with mud clearance. all in their place with proper spacing.

a random shot shot of some of my frame build ciphering.........

rode up almost all of schultz creek before being turned back by imminent stormy conditions today - it was sweet out!

Denise self-portrait - her hair is getting quite long again.

one of my absolute favourite conditions - full sun with rain falling. beautiful...........

pin balling through a rock slot with much scraping.

that's it for now - i'm totally worked. filing & polishing Mark's frame, his fork is done, and then starting on Robert M's 29er. whew. Steve.

As a long time blog follower...and a guy out on the trail today, I must ask if Denise's hair has gotten any longer than in the MONDAY, MARCH 23, 2009 post about her self portrait hair?

Steve the photo of the frame with the black of night behind is really cool. You might want to play with a few more shots like that! Really shows just the stuff that matters instead of background noise you know? I gotta try some of that. Dave in Green Bay...ps the bike is SWEEEEET!

I have recorded you a music list. It took 4 cd's. I think there is some Tom T Hall in it. I'll get it mailed monday. Been riding shotgun all week.
