Two 26" MTB's - one already in Palo Alto and one off to paint today.
One for Rohloff & one with Coco-Moto dropouts.
And, an old pic of doing trials a loooong time ago - a couple Hans Rey signature bikes & my Ibis - good times.
See you all in June!

Some amateur porn from Son of FrankenFrame. Finished up the front triangle on #2 today. It's tough being a spaz, but at least I learn a lot.

The pros won't blink, but I was pretty stoked at how this came out.

Lots of nails this time.

If you can appreciate this detail on the finished bike, I've crashed.

Wasted silver and rusting like crazy.

Frame #2 ready for paint. Frame #1 was built at UBI; it really is different building in your own shop, with your own tools, without having Ron and Tony there to whom you can ask all of your questions. Made a number of mistakes on this one, but learned even more…

Pretty happy with the progress so far. Need to get rid of all those little dimples though. Comments welcome.

Hopefully I'll be able to contribute more. This place has been an amazing resource!
