Hugh is busy building yet another lugged frame (this seems to be a trend this fall). This particular frame is getting Richard Sachs lugs and a bevy of braze-ons. Of note is the head tube extension that Hugh has crafted for this frame. This will allow a higher bar position without a huge stack of spacers

Crafting a lugged frame is not a quick process. There are still many hours of finish work left to be done.

A nice touch on the seat stays.

Mari’s frame was in to get a disc tab and a frame repaint. Mari was a great sport and decided to try out Sean’s concoction of leftover powder. This frame is still awaiting clearcoat but at the midway point it looks quite cool. Because there are so many different colour pigments in the finish, depending on the light and the angle you view it at, it can be completely different colours.

A shot of the disc brake tab. This design allows tensioning of the singlespeed rear wheel.

The Antique CCM that has been hanging around the shop has been painted and is ready to go.

The owner wanted to leave the chrome as is. It pains me to think about how many coats of paint were on this bike before we stripped it; Lots of work.

Another S and S coupling bike went out the door on Friday. The first time you break down the bike to put it in the case is always an adventure. Once you figure out where all the pieces fit best, it becomes easier and easier every time.
