June is always the worst month in my business. The weather is great in most parts of the country and people are really starting to get anxious about their bikes. This is the time of the year when I don’t sell many bikes because most people that wanted a bike for the season have already made their purchase and when the phone rings it’s usually a customer checking in on their bike. I really work hard to deliver on time and while I’m better than most there are times when I screw up. So far this year things have been pretty  good and I think I’ve gotten almost everything out on time. Those that weren’t shipped on time were for some reason out of my control. None the less, this is the time of year that I stress about delivery. So if you are waiting on a bike let me assure you, I’m doing everything I can and even if we’re getting down to the wire, we’ll get it delivered on time.

Below are pictures of Jerry D’s steel road frame with Swoop stays. It will also have a matching steel fork. Next in line are Tran , Omar, Rode, Ranson and Smith. All of which should be built by the end of the month. Rode and Tran will be painted so add a couple weeks for that. Also for those with upcoming builds I will be posting them as I build them and will email you when I start your bike so you know when to look for the build.

Here is a local persons frame. Anderson lives in Big Sky and we’re making him a titanium 29er single speed with sliders. It’s just about done and it should be ready for him to pick up by the end of the day.

Here is an awesome video of a battle in F1. You don’t see this often enough. These guys aren’t worried about contact at all…or at least not that much.

Here is Jeff D’s frame. Another steel 29er, this one is a single speed. I’ve just finished welding it. Once I get to the small parts I turn off the weder and braze them on. I really like this part of the build becasue it’s a change of pace, after all the welding brazing is very peaceful and relaxing.  Next up is another 29er, this one is a titanium SS for Anderson of Big Sky.

I just finished up Nigel’s 29er and it’s going off to paint. I started Jeff D’s bike yesterday and will post pictures of that tomorrow and I start Anderson’s titanium 29er SS  after that. Otherwise I don’t have much to say, I guess it’s just time to go to the bench.
