Friday PicFest No.175

[steve garro]

Damn - it just snapped in my head that this is at way over three years, FNL that is. I must have over 80-90 frames on here now.....
I would like to know what the bikes shown were designed for?

this one, rider 150lbs, 5'9" 53yrs old, STRONG 1-speed rider despite two new hips a few years out & a stiff neck.
More legs then torso, mid-length on the arms.
A 650B in Fox fork white.
Paul, Stan's, Easton, White Ind - a simple, light bike.
Also, a storm I photographed on the way home from kayaking - it was starting to throw down spinning tentacles..........try as we might we cannot touch the beauty of nature - "Behold, I am Shiva, destroyer of worlds"

Been a bit of a jetsetting week.

I was invited up to Brisbane to attend a great show and shine/ industry talk event, Pushies Galore.
Gave a talk with Dazza (Llewellyn), Mick Peel (Busyman Bicycles) and Andy White (Fyxamatosis)



I also got the chance to visit the shop of the mighty Darrell:








Stunning stuff!

Got back home, from ~20 degrees C to a balmy -6 degree morning...

Only way to warm up is to bring out the files, and spark the torch

Still working on Fillets, want them to be perfect and smooth





Have been working with the new lathe, making some titanium stem caps.

Nice simple industrial look cap:



And a more labour intensive rounded and polished Ti cap in progress:



And finally another submission in the "Tired Truffle Hunter" Series

First frame build, be gentle. Special thanks to Paul Carson and the Artisan Asylum.

The sun is going down and I'm still waiting on a few parts to come in the mail, so this is all for tonight.

This is about all Kaya could muster before the humidity broke up here in the North...
