Will’s Wild VW Wheels

Painted these 17s sparkle granny smith. They were pinstriped by Lance Ferrel from Milltown Ink in Palmer, MA.

Mountain Bike? Monster Cross Bike?

Here is my new 29er mountain bike. Fillet brazed except for one lug. The geometry is based on a surly karate monkey, but ultralight, and with a shorter effective top tube to fit me. The fork is a 50′s American cruiser style. The bottom bracket takes a bb90 (trek madone style – take any shimano, sram or truvative external bearing crankset, take the bearings out of the BB cups and press them into the frame) This is great for a 29er, becauase of the increased tire clearance on short chainstays. Also they use the most popular cranksets. BB bearings cost about $15. Very happy with this setup, expect to see me building more frames like this. My bike has clearance to use a road compact crankset. Is it a a mountain bike, or a “monster” cross bike? I do not know!

Hello, happy October. It’s raining right now but I hear saturday will be nice. I will be out riding my new fillet brazed road bike:

Built out of tange prestige tubing that was just laying around, it’s a compact road frame that fits me perfectly. Decided the green wasn’t me, though…

So I painted it “russian optical equipment” wrinkle black.

Check out the tight clearance, crimped seat tube.

Today I did some torching on Kareem’s fillet brazed 29er, using some nice oversize true temper ox platinum tubing.

Finally, here is Ragnar’s univega restoration. No, this isn’t a stock paint job, but it looks cool. I think this this came out UNREAL. Extremely well. Please bring me your restoration projects! -jesse
