Justin's frame, just needs a ton of polishing and a handful of braze-
ons. A nice bike!

I may be a slow builder but my stuff is straight. It's an aspect of the job I quite enjoy.

Finishing
spearpoints + the eyelets I added on before the dropouts were attached.

Natural puddle, just faceted.

As-brazed. There's over 1/2 a rod of brass in that end & all the others as well.

As-brazed,
de-fluxed.

Ditto here - that's money.

Yep.

Checking clearances. That's a
panaracer 32.

Looking good - the dot is perfect center. just needs a little
lovin'.
Seatstays at the get-go.

......and all
fixtured up. Time consuming stuff.

Check.

Frame # 25 from 2004 back for a little repair - a stick-to-derailleur incident in WI. Off to get the area blasted and get a whole new dropout.

I got out for a nice ride but also popped a rib! *#**#!!! ouch!
it hurt so bad I was barely able to finish the ride. yelps of pain, and I'm pretty
F'ing tough.

Not bad! at least I got in one fall ride. Barely saw anyone but we did see a big fat black bear run all the way across a big open meadow - cool.

Grovel in beauty.
Hozho'ji.

Glory from on high.
Working hard on Justin's "Stuart" frame and fork before starting Douglas H's project.
I gotta rethink the "Stuart" frameset, they will likely go up ( A "Stuart" is a full braze-on light tour/fender/disc 700c bike) as they are TONS of work!
Just cruising along, getting a good stream of orders, just got three orders in three days from three continents - Cool & Thanks! - Steve.

Steve, I never get tired of looking at those gorgeous fillets. Still gotta get my ducks in a row to try building one that way someday.
come do some Sedona riding this winter & we'll melt some metal!
