I just went and picked up Scott Henry's TF road bike from the painter. It turned out really nice. I tried to get an orange that wouldn't look like UT...and everyone agreed it didn't. However once the clear coat was added it changed the color of the Org. Now it looks a bit UT-ish. I do love the Org-White-Blue combo and its finished with a strong Orange Pearl clear that really shines in the sun. Now its back to the shop for final prep: HT badge, ream/face/chase, and frame saver.

Its Official: My TF is for sale
This could prove to be a good test on how much traffic the TF bike blog actually gets. I've decided to part ways with my new TF bike. So if you are generally 6' to 6'1" and don't want to wait in line for a SS bike with Black Cat sliders....then this could be your chance.
I can't recall off hand all the geo spec's but its got a 24.5" ETT.

Weekly Update
This week we got Antonio's frame all welded up and the rear disc brake tab welded on. Mo is going to start on the braze-ons and braces tomorrow and it should be ready for powder early next week.


Cody also has a special project for us actually two special projects for us. Here is a taste of the big tubes he has designed into the frame.

It is going to be stiff with lots of travel...

Progress on Antonio's 29er
Although we had to wait for a tube to come in today to make progress on Antonio's frame, we were able to get the front triangle all mitered, in the jig, and then tacked up. Here are shot of it tacked up:


And a close up of the tacked seat tube sleeve. Adding this sleeve strenghten the seat tube top tube joint and makes the frame much easier to ream out for the seat post.
