Greetings from fabulous Las Vegas.

The prototypes dropped right in. This is the 38/44 combo. The 36 and 42 Mastercam files are done and all of the tool paths for 110 bcd are being worked on this week.



Many thanks to Lance at TRP for saving me a spot in their booth this week!

The results. It's not about the mic, it's about its reflection:

Justin's is ready and waiting for his parts (Dazza design OS Compact lugs)
David's is off to Joey Cosgrove tomorrow morning (Dazza design OS Compact lugs)
The next build is a Cadeniza lugged fixie that will have full Dura Ace on it. (Italia/aussie- Pegoellyn XL level top tube lug set)
Nice road fixies are uber cool

Took most of last week off and did a 3 days tour around our area, perfect time of year to be out.

This week we completed a bicycle that is of particular personal interest for me. The bike pictured is for Gavin, who was an airline Captain flying Boeing 727's for Ansett Airways (Australian domestic airline which is now defunct). After Darren had done Gavin's fit, Jason and I sat down with him to work out his paint scheme. He really didn't know what he wanted, but after telling us of his past (he is still a capt with another domestic airline) it seemed perfect to design a bike after his favorite aircraft that he flew. The design also meant more to him as both his father and brother were invloved with the same company. This put even more pressure on us to deliver a paint scheme with which he is happy.

We based the custom paint scheme on the standard GT scheme. We modified the standard GT scheme to mimmick the 727, whilst still retaining our typical styling cues. The URL link bellow shows the aircraft he flew from which we took our inspiration.

Gavin has written a blog entry for us that gives his persepctive of the whole process which we will post soon.

I've got a couple of beers in me, so I'm feeling falsely brave. Hope I'm, not intruding or breaking any unwritten rules.

Frame number two is underway, what will be a 650b wheeled shopping bike/riding around the neighborhood with my kids bike/path bomber. Will have clearance for 650b x 42 Grand Bois Hetre tires, 72 parallel angles, and a 6 degree sloping top tube (actually, might be 7). I'm using Dedacciai Zero Tre and Zero Due road OS with a set of Llewelyn lugs and a Pacenti Paris-Brest fork crown. I'll maintain my retro cred with threaded 1" steering. Anyway, at this point, it's just tubes and lugs on my bench, I've cleaned up the fork crown (had a bunch of casting cruft in it, ended up soaking it in boiling water) and the upper head tube lug; a couple hours here and there since I have a day job (high school teacher) and I expect to begin mitering tubes this time next week (or so).



Castings. I think I need to do some carving on the lower portion of the seat lug; not really wild about its lines.


Tubes, washed and degreased, dried, hit with a greenie, and marked.


It's times like this that I wish I had the funds for a jig and my own torch setup, but I'll be doing much of the building at a local framebuilder's shop. He rents me shop time by the hour and gives me advice when I ask and yells at me when I need it :)

Thanks,

Pete
