wow. hey, i'm back. took a slug to the chest for awhile, by virtue of enrolling in grad school. i haven't written all that much in the two years, but i have built a select number of bikes with magic marker, aka mr. mark welch. in the same time, he's become a barista at milwaukee's own alterra. our shop is happy to see us, and our tools pleased to be of use. at some point, i hope to add all the archived photos to the gallery, as i am sure those who've i've built bikes for would like to have this as a reference. yea, that's right, i got a bikeith bike. check on aisle 4,274,983 trillion of the triple double u. soon to come...even if it means i have to learn flash myself. before i go on with too many more words, let me just post some pictures.
this one's a special one. she fits inside my suitcase, so i can commute outside of milwaukee, when time doesn't allow for a tour. thanks to rob zdanowski and matt maybe for letting me test my powder finger, mark for truing these 48 spoke wheels and the self-extracting crank bolts, and jeff for picking me up some MKE grips from ben's cycle, and allowing me to use his camera. thanks to dan at wheel + sprocket for ordering in the parts; thanks to the uwm dumpster and the giant sitcase large enough to travel with this thing aboard aircraft safely. thanks to brian at the die caster on holton for shaving a lil metal off the stem, ayton at truly spoken for his consultation, the color turquoise, and maise, for putting up with the hours my relationship gives over to this addiction for beautiful + functional things.
her first trip is this weekend for jeremy's wedding in denver, who i should also thank for setting up this website + blog. be good to her frontier. by the way, happy indepedence day.
