I'm just recommending that you leave the font as default.
No one wants to read

Whoever DCT is, he is 100% wrong when he presumes to speak for the rest of us.
Stay blue Dazza!

off to my favourite bike show soon, 'Bespoked"
Getting stuff ready.

28th March Brisbane – Australia. Llewellyn Custom Bicycles announces two new socketed seatstay seat lugs, one each for the Llewellyn Crescendo and Cadenzia lug sets. Darrell Llewellyn McCulloch, designer of the lugs explains; “These seat lugs are created to expand the versatility of the two sets. This lug provides different aesthetics and working methods than the original seat lugs of each set.” Sample lugs and Llewellyn frames built with these lugs will be on display at the "Bespoked" show 7th-9th April Bristol UK.

It is about what I do, it is about making, it is about bicycles and this particular flavour

[Dazza]

it is where the cool kids hang out and the nerds hang out and lost souls from down under

Just back from "Bespoked" (Bristol UK) after a few weeks holiday time after the gig. A few pics here of setting up in Brunel's Passenger Shed. Big thanks to Robin Mather for making the display stand for "Wayne's Obsession" and his hard work assisting in setting up.(that is Robin up the ladder) Also a big thanks to Mark Stanley for his assistance. They made it so much easier for MAM and myself after stepping off the airport shuttle bus, straight in the door of the venue to set up the stand before we even checked into our hotel digs the evening before the show kick off.

One most enjoyable aspects of attending "Bespoked" is the evening dinners with fellow toiling frame builders. The banter and knowledge shared is fun and for me I only get to do this once or twice a year, so it is special. It all goes too quick, just too quick !

One special dinner MAM and I had after Bespoked was done and dusted was on the Monday evening with Robin Mather and Vincent Crétin. Vincent Crétin is a young man who I knew of but knew little of. However as we all chatted for many hours that evening he made an impression on me because he is following his vision of needing to be on the path to be a complete "Constructeur". He moved to commence work at Gilles Berthoud (France) to follow this vision. He is not taking the easy path, he is not taking the short path. He is not about fluff and bright funky colours. This young man is a genuine frame builder. I will enjoy growing old following his work.

I felt very emotional about this award. Because it was not for the best looking Sunflower on a townie bike's wicker basket with nice colour path ways, this Blue was judged by some very experienced life time frame builders. Yeah, I teared up a wee bit.

Scott's Colossus frame forms up

[Dazza]

Circa 1978. I lived for my manual training classes of metal work, wood work, tech drawing and running at High School. My manual training teacher had been involved with bike racing so we got on well as I was dreaming of being another Eddy. For some forgotten reason I needed to use a divider for a project at home. My teacher said, "take these" I will bring them back on Monday. He said, "keep them, you will make good use of them" Nearly 40 years later I reflect on the story of these Moore and Wright dividers that have lived on the back of my bench. They have been used on every Llewellyn frame set I have made. Did I make good use of them?
