Most of the raw materials all lined up for Christie's 26" wheeled MTB. A sweet "Sano" bike, horizontal Paul dropouts with a disc hanger. The super long tube in the picture is raw head tube stock.
All drawn up. Lo-tech, sure.......but - very, very accurate.
Money.
Ready for front triangle inspection. Six tubes of Made in the USA lovin'.
All tacked up & ready for seat stay day {today} - it's De La Cratic....
I am healed up enough from surgery to go have some fun in the great outdoors! We live in a special place, all the outdoor pics to follow are less then 50mi span from each other & right by our houses. Here is a Soap Yucca putting out it's asparagus like sword which will bloom shortly.
Sego Lilies!
Many parts were quite rubble-y.
P. Pseudespectabilius. getting ready to pop.
primrose.
Just opened & ready for business.
???????? - lots of little yellow flowers in AZ.
Again - ??????. Very pretty.
Some species of Daisy/Aster.
You have to pedal up millions of rocks to get to here.
Steep, too. No shade, either.
Now that's a great Sego. Less purple then the ones up here on the plateau.
Paintbrush - just coming out.
Ripping! Most excellent conditions on the mountain with snow only on the most north facing gullies.
Looking pretty bare up there.
First tracks.
My kind of trail. I keep to the local routes allot.
Four of us went fishing on the Mighty Verde & we just slayed it. A nice 14" LM bass here. It's fins are haggard from fighting & building spawning beds. All fish went home this day.

A native roundtail chub - look at that tail - that's a powerful fish. they hit hard on lures & fight hard. We always release native species. This male is spawning, too - hence the orange colors to impress the ladies. We caught some of the ladies who were so full of eggs they looked like footballs - Forza, Chubs!
Immediate breakage upon launch fix with supplies I had along - zipties, medical tape & two boot laces holding on a 1" green willow branch found on site. Bomber!
The Gaun Bros. Jim & Joe floatin' towards Pine Mtn in the background. We are lucky beyond belief to have a designated Wild & Scenic river in our backyard.
Very Warped!
A damn sassy LM going back into the drink. Bass are some bad-ass predators.
I had a little incident.......nothing a Leatherman can't fix.
Girl-O got his toe-sies all burnt up :{

nice bikes and flowers and trail and fishing pics. I used to cath a lot of fish. Now they avoid me.
Good thing Girllo's italian. That burn probably turned into a tan before he got home.
"Six tubes of Made in the USA lovin'." A nice turn of phrase that will have me thinking about handmade bikes and fishing all day long...
the yellow one is senecio multilobatus. I can see the lobes on the basal leaves hence the multilobe name business and the white daisy thing is a blackfoot daisy. great floral porn!
