Off to Arkansas

We have made pretty good progress in the shop on several frames in November. I promise to post some photos of all in my next update. This morning Mo and I are headed to Arkansas for a four day bikepacking trip on the Ouachita and Womble trails. Thanks to Greg and Rachel at F3 designs for some sweet bags. Here is a photo of my setup.

Plenty of work in the shop to wrap October

Sorry for the delay in posts to the blog, we have been busy in the shop and I have not got a chance to get some images in a while.

First up t-shirts, hot off the presses in two new colors army green and gray!!! Get them up at Hammerhead Bike shop for $15 or shoot us and email.



29er fork for Bill to finish out his Cherry Blossom ride. A little different then our usual forks with most all of the rake in the angle of the outer miter of the top segments. We just need to cut the tops of the legs, put on all the brazed-on parts, and add the disk tab.






Next bike we are working on is a special townie which is going to have a curved top tube. Here is some shots of it in the jig and of the seat tube sleeve on it:





We also started working with some titanium and are in the process of building up three frames to test out both building with it and how it rides. Here is the front triangle of a 29er in progress:




And Finally Mo added a third set of bottle braze-ons to his 29er frame and had it powder coated with a James Bond theme:
