I stumbled over a really cool company that makes bicycle clothing today. And they make’m by hand! Have a look at www.rainypeak.com.
It’s inspiring to find companies that actually do stuff. That makes stuff. More people should do that. Make stuff.
Here’s the fillet brazed headtube junctions on the last two mountain bike frames. Filed, sanded and almost ready to go to the painter.
After thinkering with the website for a while I’ve decided to go live with a Alfa (or perhaps I’m over in Beta-stage by now?) version. A few things will change during the next few weeks/months. Most importantly the pages will have an image gallery soon.
During the first two months of 2007 a lot of really neat things have happened in the shop. First of all I’ve managed to finish two front triangles. A detail shot of one of ‘em can be seen on the front page. Hopefully these frames should be done in a week or so. But the most thrilling thing that happened was that I received a full toolkit from Anvil Bikes. Tools in this regards means frame fixture, fork fixture and a full set of mitering fixtures for precision cutting of frame tubing. To say that I was thrilled would be a true understatement. Here’s a few pictures:
