Chad's Road frame

Chad's stays are mitered. This is turning out pretty slick.

more pics from today's adventure

Had to post more pics...
Enjoy.

Lots of stuff coming together

Guest blogger here... I was able to scoot down the valley a little after sunrise in order to spend some time working with Hub.

After fulfilling my promise of coffee, we were able to make some final decisions on my front triangle and get to mitering. I worked at hand finishing a different set of dropouts cast by Llewellyn in Australia. Glad Hub ordered two sets so I could get on these. They look fantastic.

Other things coming together are James' Fat Wicked retro resto. Still waiting on fork decals but it is looking SWEET.

Jim Campbell's titanium seat post is ready for clamping in his frame. These are fantastic. Hub, where's mine?

Another fork is ready for canti mounts. Makes me want one. Cool.

My front triangle is now mitered and probably either tacked or being welded as I post. I can't wait to build this up.

Cheers,

-Chad

TI Post

Sorry for the lack of posts, no pun intended. I have been busy building retro forks, ordering tubing and parts, and working on the SAE Mini Baja car for the big competition in Greensville SC at the beginning of April.

I did get Ron's proto-type TI seat post done, and he snapped a photo for me. The children managed to miss place the camera cord, yet another excuse for the lack of posts. James's fat resto is complete and will post pics as soon as I find the cord. I also did my corporate taxes, thanks to my helpful mom, good thing I built her a frame. Promise to post soon.

Cheers,
Hub

Just for Jid

Sorry for the lack of posts. Jid is very excited to get his BOI retro fork. Here is 2 pictures of it ready for paint. It gets a metalic silver with black decals. still waiting on the decals.
Ron's final flat clear did not go well, so it has been stripped and will be reshot. Sometimes that is how it goes, and Ron was very understanding, wish all my customers were as cool as him.
Cheers,
Hub

Quick picture

I still need to lay down some clear to bury the decals. The final coat of clear will be flat, to match the Fox fork.
Cheers

Productive Day

Spent the AM finishing off the cable guides for Ron's frame, loaded it into the blasting cabinet (which was needed since it was 10 degrees and windy outside), and laid down 3 coats of epoxy primer. Need to pick up the color coat Monday morning and get the custom decals moving.

Finished setting up the frame jig for Chad's Life road frame, cut the head tube, faced the BB, and decided to go with an externally butted seat tube, which we will need to order on Monday.

Had a customer that required 4 sets of canti bosses installed. Things went well, good end to a productive day.

Cheers,
Hub
