Bread and butter: custom road


FTW got fired and re-hired for building this thing for the '90 Anaheim show. By late '91 90% of all Yeti's were aluminum.


Speaking of Frank. He built himself a new aluminum road frame before I had breakfast on Wednesday morning.


I counted 11 different shaping operations and a custom headtube. Dude needs to sleep more.

Sometimes we ride bikes.

Listen to Punk Rock. Build Bikes. Ride Bikes. Repeat. In that order which is important...

Nate had his wisdom teeth pulled last week. It went pretty bad, they had to cut his jaw muscles to get the teeth out. Still eating soup and recovering. I've been trying to squeeze shop time in between dad duties. Today we were working on a lugged city bike bound for Jakarta and a Saltzman headed for Japan.

Crappy week in the Kumo workshop:

Finished my first attempt at MAX, everything was sweet and I was happy with the result, drive side chainstay was ~3mm out, needed to be cold set.
Grabbed the dropout, gave it a firm yank and the chainstay rippled down at the BB shell not huge but crappy nonetheless.

Oh well you don't learn this shit without making the mistakes, and luckily I have a spare MAX chainstay laying about. Guess what I will be doing next week...

Built it up anyway, needs lots of finishing yet
