The last NAHBS bike is out the door; we call the finish, "Keith's Urban":

The Maietta PressFit 30 reamer works better than I could have hoped. More info here. This is a show bike, but this is about as much of the finish as I want to reveal now. I will have my complete PF30 reaming setup at the show for your review.

[Craig Ryan]

Waiting for Thursday night flight by working on a restoration of an old Bob Jackson. I loved the way it looked, but he wants 10 speed, braze-ons, and shiny paint.

My new telescoping fly pole (Tenkara style) for bike tours and traveling. No reel, telescopes 13 feet, I wish it was dry fly season!

All I seem to be doing is paint, grinding lugs and designing frames. All good, but I'm not riding. What's wrong here ...
