We’re getting close to show time. While getting everything ready for the show, packed up and shipped on time is a bit hard on the nerves, it’s a lot of fun too. I’m moving along on Tom P’s frame and it should be done and ready tomorrow. We’re also assembling Rich B’s frame now and getting it ready to ship to him in NY. It has the new Dura Ace 7900. This is the first 7900 build we’ve done so we’re geeking out on all the changes. I get my main show bike back today and the parts for it have been trickling in. All in all things are moving along and we’re looking forward to a great show.

How do you set up the HT to turn it off center?
I like the swoop stays!
I have an internal expanding mandrel that I turned off-center in a four jaw chuck. Now I can slip the headtube on it and turn them without any further setup.
Hi Carl,
Just to let you know I´m a big fan of your bikes and I don´t have one, yet!, everything looks great.
Happy trails
