P36 trophies..........


Started on the trophies for PisgahProduction's P36 endurance mountain bike race. A very brutal "not so horrible" ride in the forest put together by the evil and wicked Mr. Wever...........

Does this apron make me look fat?
















After the holiday break........I'm back at it! The yard bike is coming along nicely and I have come up with a solution that will make the issue of fork crown clearance dissapear...........it's a segmented down tube. Here I am at it, mitering the DT and segment that will be brazed to the head tube. The main reason for the initial clearance issue is due to using a very short head tube.......so remember if your building a small frame you will need to consider fork clearance AND down tube "fit".
