Rattle and sparkle............




Tried a new "textured sparkle" spray paint. Gives it that bass boat effect......I like it!

Takes a whole lotta love.................






Or something like that........... Sanding the fillets to make them butter smooth takes lots of patience, determinations, and tons of sand paper. I did prevail and have finally got this frame ready for paint!

Tubes go BOING!!!!!!!!!!!!!




In the process of replacing a set of drop outs to repair a frame that had the hanger bent greater than 45 degrees.......I cut out the SS and CS to free the old DO just as the DO is released the stays spring out........what a surprise! Good thing I have lots of C-clamps handy. All in all things came out pretty good and the frame will be better than before!

Just plain nasty............






Busy day in the Smokehouse..........made two weiner holders, made a shim for a seat tube, and brazed some balls onto the 4S-29'r and finished the disk brake tab......this frame is a true abomination of function and style.....Eric should be pleased, I know I would be.
