Two going through paint. One will be Plum Crazy, which is a pretty wild purple pearl.

Dave has a OS compact lugged frame going to Taiwan this week
Dazza has a OS compact lugged frame going to the USA this week.

Dazza calls his OS Compact frames the "Manorina" model after the bell birds and the national park

Two firsts this week.

1. First Ristretto with Di2 internal wiring with battery mounted underneath Non Drive side chainstay

2. First GTB scheme for a Ristretto. This one combines gloss bands with Matt Clear for the remaining sections. The gloss and Matt combo works a treat with the 7900 polish/matt finish. Unfortunately a refinished Deda stem in Matt Grey didn't make it in time to the photo shoot.

The GTB bridges the gap between our traditional schemes and our more agressive GTR/X schemes. I've got to stop giving away all my good ideas for customers and having nothing left for NAHBS next year. Don't want suffer from writers block or is that painter/designer block?

Have a great weekend everyone!

Cheers,

Jared

A fellow framebuilder on this forum should know the owner of this bike based on the logo on the top tube.











A geared 29R to build this weekend. One more mtb then it is onto the 2012 cross bikes.



Bike race weekend here in Philadelphia. This week I had the current female world champion visiting the shop. It was cool since she thought the "factory" was neat.

Cheers,

Humble beginnings...


Numbers I use to set up my fixture



"it has to start somewhere | it has to start sometime | what better place than here | what better time than now! "

[suspectdevice]

Wild times- sanity is hanging on by a thread(thank god for bikes).

Motivation


Predictably oversized steel fork prototype(shown for scale). Bigger is better, mmmkay?


There are 15 excited people at the end of the line here....


Putting graphics under clearcoat- heresy.


It's time for some hardcore hardtails, bro





Frank recons that this is somewhere around the 21.000th frame that he has welded(seriously)- it's his second roadbike ever- and he fucking loves it. I can't wait until he gets some glossy pictures of it... dialed. and purple.


See that one nut? That is all that keeps your front wheel on your bike if you buy a $600 bike with front suspension.

Some new wheels.

and my method for drilling holes for internal cable routing using a 5/16" endmill in a cordless drill.

I managed to take exactly one picture over the ballers weekend but somehow got my finger too. This is my current cross ride decorated with road wheels.
