Lots to do, and little time to take photos:



MAX chainstays brazed in, for those of you with experience of these lugs, you will know what i pain in the arse this can be



Piece designed to be brazed under the fork crown for easy installation of fenders with an M5 bolt



And a cautionary photo: always use lube...








When turning titanium on a lathe

here are two things, which are a bit older (spring or early summer) but never published.

An Al CAAD 4 with a cracked CS. I normally don't do this sort of thing but this was a special favor for someone, who knows the risks.




The bonded joint of this Y-Foil got a bit soft so I completely rebuilt / overbuilt the area:

Practice frame #2 is complete. Came out pretty straight. The HT is within 0.1 mm of the ST over 430mm (length of HT checker bar). The rear wheel is centered and within 0.2 mm of the ST over its diameter. Time to cut it up and move on to #3.

New alignment check. Full size tables are sweet!






No BB brazing issues. Liquidy flux is a good thing.




Sunrise from the shop.

03082 Playlist: The Future Primitives. Waiting on tubes and bits for the next 3 builds so took the time to rework the HT assembly on my frame jig:







Making seat tubes with curves. None of those ripples or kinks either:

A short 3 mile climb from the shop doors on some double track brings you up on top of Winn Mtn. Mt. Monadnock in the background to my left:
