Last night the storm blew the left column down.

[Dazza]

the bike mechanic/assembly room got the treatment this week
thus replaced the12 year temporary set up
Proper job only here
another week closer to building the steam loco workshop extension, and the bench/drawers will be red in there!
and the most beautiful thing in the world, a Myford 254 (metric) in pristine condition will be in there.

I really like how this came out.

But then again, I like blue.















There's still a bit of buffing compound here and there, but you get the idea.

I haven't been posting much lately but I've been getting lots of work done. Lots of Cervelos too.
Troy from Brooklyn also sent us his first (so he says) frame. We did a bit of clean-up on it but it looked pretty good.
noah

@02136 this week...

Fun cross collab in the works. Jamie calls it smexy (smart but sexy)... I call it "time-consuming" (but worth every second)... Kevin wants to call it his girlfriend (but he knows better)....









One of the framesets shipped out this week: a sweet XCr Di2 frameset to our Taiwan dealer...





We also got a new bad-ass dust collector:



...and Cappy the snapping turtle just keeps getting bigger.



Cheers all!

To another great week.

See you at the (X) races!

Hi. My name is Tony and I used to build bicycle frames. Please remove the used to.

After an embarrassingly long hiatus, I am now building and painting again from my new shop. 10 Nate Whipple Highway, Cumberland Rhode Island

I will be at the Builder's Ball Friday night in Providence. Come say hello.




A road frame for Joahim made with Columbus XCr:

I have been looking into manufacturing custom dropouts for bonding into carbon frames. I came across a company doing Direct Metal Laser Sintering (DMLS) in 6/4 Titanium. They essentially build parts in fine layers by fusing titanium powder with a laser in an inert chamber. It produces a part that has the mechanical properties of normal 6/4 Titanium and is being used to build jet engine compressor blades. I use a lot of rapid prototype parts at work in glass and carbon filled nylon. I was hoping the Ti DMLS would be less than an order of magnitude more expensive. I was unfortunately very wrong. Quote came back at $2021 for one piece shown below. Back to the drawing board...
