After a bunch of titanium frames I’m back to steel. Here is road frame I’m building for Leo W. of VA. It’s another tall frame for a tall rider.

This was sent to me by Nick L. of BC. It is really funny. Talk about cross technique, some of these guys were literally throwing their bikes across the river. Things have changed a lot since 1960, especially the courses.

I was talking to Erik the other day and telling him I’d been shipping quite a few full bikes the last couple weeks. He said now that he doesn’t work in the shop it’s not so obvious from my blog and website how many of the frames I build are sold as complete bikes. He suggested I start posting the final builds on the blog. Currently we take pictures of any new build in our studio and post most of them on our site gallery. I’ve also decided to take Erik’s suggestion and snap a quick picture every time I put together a bike and post it on the blog. Below are six bikes which I’ve shipped over the couple weeks.

Here is the 7th of the seven straight titanium bikes I’ve been building over the last couple of weeks. I think I’ll add one more while I’m on a run and build a NAHBS bike over the weekendand. Then I get to do some steel for Leo, Jeremy, Betsy and Bob, all road two of which will have couplers.

Below is George’s road frame. It has swoop seatstays and will be getting internal brake cable routing. The shape and balance of this frame is really nice. I’ll be welding it out today and then it will go off to the painter next week. More pictures to come Monday or Tuesday.

I’m just winding up a run of seven titanium frames. I have one more customer frame after Kenny’s which I finished yesterday, then I think I’ll make a titanium cross frame for NAHBS. It’s always a lot of fun to do a run of the same material all in a row. It allows me to get in a mode and set up the machines for that material and leave them alone. Most of the time I’m jumping back and forth from one material to the other and that keeps things interesting but it does add time.

Below is a frame for Kenny out of GA. Kenny’s going to have the frame painted and it’s going to be built up with Dura Ace 7900, Edge bar, stem and post and Edge 45 clincher rims on DT 240’s. It’s going to be one sweet ride. I’ll post pics when it back and together.
