Its been a big one:

Finished, polished and delivered this fillet brazed road frame, one of my favorites yet (rabbit not included):







My girlfriend and I decided that two weeks solid without a break deserved a day off, so we went to Sydney and hopped a ferry to Cockatoo Island, and old ship building site which has been converted into a big art gallery for this month. She loved the artwork, I lost my shit over the massive machine tools that they still had laying around:



How is that for a lathe, bed of about 20 metres, chuck larger than I am tall

And the controls for a boring machine, which had a boring head that was ~2m wide:



Came back to the real world and put in a big week finishing up Melvin's frame, just need to finish the fork:



Pump peg doohickey







Stainless plates to prevent paint damage by the pump





Finito



Starting on the fork



Also pickup up this NOS set of Reynolds Speedstream tubing, pretty rare apparently?



And one final shot, machining up a light mount for my girlfriends bike

Catching up with FNL:

Added a CS bridge to the frame I made earlier this summer after 700 miles of use. We'll see if I can tell the difference.


Decided to experiment with paint and rattle can said frame as it was too damn rusty.


The paint booth.


Came out okay.


With semi-gloss clear.




Finally getting started on the next practice frame.

Been away from FNL for quite some time. Just moved into a new work space and getting things even more comfortable than the last place. Built a dedicated table for the the alignment system as well as a rolling stand for the frame jig. I resumed work on a 29er for a good friend out in Oregon (Bike #003).
