I was busy doing other stuff for the past week but at this point I can't recall what. I'm back at the bench full time now working on a few rides going to Taiwan.
Amazingly, we didn't take any pictures at NAHBS, we were just foot to the floor the whole time so I mined Flickr for pics and all photo credit goes to their owners.
I do want to give a major shout out/props/respect/thanks to Mike Zanconato who whipped out a front triangle and two rear triangles for us to use as props displaying our wares. That was a huge help to us!
The booth before opening. Note "Anvil Man's" dapper hat & tie.

"It's better to not know so much than to know so many things that ain't so." -- Josh Billings, 1885
A man with any character at all must have enemies and places he is not welcome—in the end we are not only defined by our friends, but also those aligned against us.
Close to finishing a fat-tyred road frame for a friend of mine. Dazza's lugs, oval chainstays, Zona all round. Only seatstays to go.
Autumn has come early here. It's been damn freezing. Fortunately last winter, I turned an old industrial water tank into a shop wood heater. Time well spent.
Back in the shop this week, but no photos taken. Thank you to everyone who came by with such kind words and encouragement at the show. And to Susan, I couldn't do any of this stuff without her.
It's been a busy week and my shop time has been limted. I've brazed a front triangle (no pics yet) and a pair of dropouts into stays. I'll let that the first two pics be a sneak peak until paint. These dropouts will be cleaned up and brazed into the frame before the weekend ends. The third pic is a souvenir I brought home from NAHBS. The fourth pic is the next client bike in the pipeline.
