Bloomer Junior Track Bike - Frame Almost Done

This frame only needs to have the Seatstay and Chainstay
bridge joints finished.  It won't take long but my fingers and
thumbs are trashed from all of the work that they have done
in the last week and a half.  I will either have to wait a couple
of days or enlist Jake's help to finish these.  Next step for me
is to build the fork.  I should be able to kick that out tomorrow.
The Seatstays on this frame turned out interesting.  I realized
that the dropouts that I had were meant for a much larger frame.
I came up with the bent stay idea so that I could continue to work
on the bike during my time off of work and wouldn't have to order
new dropouts.  I am very happy with the result.

David's Fat Bike - Cable Guides and Assy




 Please try to ignore the tire on the front of the bike in these pictures.  I am waiting to get the
correct fork back from the powdercoater so that I can put the right front wheel on and get more
pictures.  I did ride it this way and it felt pretty awesome even though the front tire was narrow
and high pressure and the bikes geometry was off quite a bit.

David's Fat Bike - Seat Binder Slot

I couldn't sleep, so I got up and reamed the seat tube
and cut the binder slot.  I just have to add the rear disc
brake boss and the cable guides.
