Not a very Vsalon type of bike but it's what I did last week and it's off to test in the Montreal area.

IMG_3013.JPGI haven't taken many pictures recently as I have been busting ass to recoup from time off - I sent a unfiled frame off to paint, and am waiting on parts for two full builds - busy, haven't been on a bike ride since early May!

This is for the new guys. Its sloppy, and I have been getting the torch settings closer, timing, flow of the bronze figured out. It's been a while since I used oxy acetaline.This is an old Giant frame that I cut up, and reworked. It will be a single speed. I decided this after brazing the chain stays so the first dropouts came out.

Long time no FNL.
Random smattering of images from the before I head out the door to use these;

Yeah, it's pretty stiff even with a proper bb shell.

Yeti "restoration"

Frank built more championship winning MTB frames in 1993 than every other person who built bikes in the world. Combined.

In the spirit of Willie1, here is my numero uno circa 98ish.
Don’t ask why! This is supposed to be a fixed gear cyclocross bike with a xxxl super long top tube.
Ingredients: 4130 pipes, vice, hacksaw, files, brass, fire, straight edge, viola.
Spent 3 days staring, 2 days building. Road the crap outa this bike, thinking about getting her painted.
