2010 - It's a wrap! Thanks for all of you who made Coconino happen for another year!

This is the beginning of Meghan's 700c all-rounder. She won the raffle to benefit the Benton family, and this is her prize. We are going to Camp Verde for the weekend & I'll wrap it up next week. Get Stoked!

Starting to be bike-like in the early morning sun.

I got in my 1st ride in over a month only to have my steering cable bust 1.5mi into the ride - game over..........bummer........better luck next time, I reckon. It was beautiful out.

Snow is here!

Around a couple feet, I guesstimate.

D. in full arctic mode! Good WI stock.

Gus-Gus / Cody face-off. Looks like Gus wants to go with. Cody is getting really, really old mighty fast. Not sure if she will make 14 or not. She has had a awful good time while she has been here & has been loved allot, that's about all you can ask for, I reckon.

Going to bring the Orange Bike back from the dead. All the parts are just plain worn out. D. wants her geared mtb back.

A big stack of work.

random piece of wall art in the shop.

That's it for 2010, folks! Thanks for the support all around & a really big "Thank You" to all new & old Coconino customers - I couldn't do it without you all - Thanks! Back at work Mon, out of here for the weekend - Steve.

Pete's bike wrapping up / Sick! @*$^#%!

Pete's 29er trail/tour bike is just about wrapped up, just waiting for him to bring his new rack by so I can get the rack mounts in *just* the right place. Nice bike!

Shaping fillets "toil"

Done!

Ditto here. beginning to oxidize..........

Bbbbrrrrrr!!!! Cold! A view from the couch on a chilly morning.

Bike # three came home to get some overhaul lovin' - still going strong at eight years.

El-Son brought me some goodies muy fina from Sonora - a jar of chilipequin & a couple bottles of "India Brava" - 100% ground chilitepin! - HOT! I wish they sold it here - one of my all time favourite salsas.

That's all i got right now. I'm really quite sick {again} Man, just ill. I tried to go to work today but that just resulted in a coughing fit that left me almost vomiting & crapping at the same time. Sometimes you just have to rest, I guess.......I have gotten a couple of bikes behind, big apologies to all! I try to avoid that at all costs, but man - I'm cratered. I was supposed to go biking since the 1st time in over a month too.........Damn. Maybe it will make me feel better? - Steve.

workin' hard.

But plenty of time to post this sweeet-ass pic of S. McF's swanky new ride! Frame by Me, fork by Wade at Vulture cycles. We do good work together! Maybe I can get a ride report from him to post, as I think this was a great ride with cool features & geometry. I wouldn't walk very far away from it in WA state, that rig will blend right in.

In other new, been working hard re-doing our new house, but I'm waiting for it to be all buffed out to post pics. Can you say "overworked?" back to work on Pete's frame. - Steve.

STUFF! / Build Queue.

Barry's cruiser is pretty much done - wow! can't wait to see it in the sun - it's been snowing for a few days now & I'll wrap up the finish details like decals, frame prep & head badge when he comes to pick it up.

Gus-Gus approved! It's got all the braze-ons on it now, but I really like the polished finish before you do them..

A different angle to show the mellow S-bends of the rear triangle. quite the retro beauty!

out of the dunk tank - smooth.

Just checking in with the Cruiser, It's off to become a pearlescent Kawasaki green. More to come next week - Steve.

Damn cool stuff - Shawn's bike outta here, Jeff bike looks badass, 36hrs of fun / Blown Out!

Finally got a built shot of Jeff's 650B - wow! what a sweet looking bike!

Shawn McF's bike is on it's way to him in WA state. It aughta blend into the jungle really nice.

Smooth!

I like this & highly suggest this for disc/one speed use. The way go!

Really smooth lines on this rig..........

All the silver bits really compliment the green really well.

Popped out of the jig for the first time.

Sussing up the seat stay situation........

I love 4130!

= seat stays.

The weather is very conducive to working.

Looking pretty damn nice.

All tacked up. The afternoons are the best time to work in the shop with the low winter light.

Seat stay brace installed and ready for cleaning & brazing.

Brazed up. Cruisers rock. - Steve.
