So, yeah… it’s been awhile. The last couple of years have been pretty much solely spent on fixing up the project house that my long term partner and I purchased. This has left very little time and additional funds to spend on fun projects, such as the unfinished Triton and Trek 950 (I sadly have…
Hey! Long time no see right?! 😉 Haha, sorry, I have a house (and a new puppy + an old puppy) with my partner lady and it has utterly consumed my life! So, to the fun stuff, my first fully custom bike, the Triton All-Road / Gravel frame with a custom painted Rodeo Spork 1.2…
So I’ve been purging, because of some big news on the horizon my space will be more limited. I sadly sold off the Eriksen, and I have the Trek 750 Multitrack up for sale in it’s current form. The SV650 sold as well to a great Washington guy, I have no updates on it. But…
*pics now, content later!
Isn’t this the way of it? I try to sell one bike, the last blue Strong. Going to save the money I say, going to put it away for later I say, I’m done getting new bikes for awhile I say and I’m just going to wait for the custom Triton Gravel Grinder frameset I’m…
Sadly a car is becoming more and more important as my current lease comes to an end, so I’ve decided to have a great divestment of resources 😉 As you’ve seen in previous posts the bike is a custom built Carl Strong Columbus Foco Road Racing steel frame with a paint matched ENVE 1.0 fork…
I seriously hate to do this, but I need to thin out the project herd, and sadly the SV is lower on my list than getting a project car right now. The SV is listed on craigslist right now for $3800, I do not want to ship, if you get someone to come pack it…
Well, I’m getting out of bikes… no, I completely kidding haha, I’m just selling because I am smitten with a new Ti frameset, the Kona Rove Ti (If anyone has one for sale, please let me know, I’d prefer a 2014 56cm model, but would be ok with any 56cm Rove Ti honestly). Both Frames…
A big update here. So, the big reveal! Haha, or something like that. Two and half weeks ago I spent an afternoon packing the fork, stem, spacers, and frame together and I shipped it all down to Ruckus Composites in Portland, OR to have it all paint matched to the frame. Less than a week…
So after a long deliberation, I came to the hard conclusion that the black Strong Custom Blend was just too big for me, so enter the new to me Strong Racing Frame made out of triple butted Columbus Foco main tubes. I’ve gone a different path with this one, originally I was just going to…
OK, so I know it’s been awhile since I’ve either posted or talked about bikes. Think of it as a mild hiatus, a short rest stop to catch my breathe, lots has happened in-between and I’ll update over the next couple of weeks accordingly. Right now let’s focus on what’s in front of us, Olivia’s…
Always fun to see how your parts are made, I have a soft spot for Nitto Products 🙂 Thanks Sim Works!
So, the SV has been undergoing some surgery as of late, with a whole lot more scheduled! Right now it’s had the 2004/5 GSXR600/750 front end swapped out for a 2008 GSXR750 front end. The wheels are also getting changed out to the matching 2008 wheelset, Zoran will take care of the rear spacers for…
Wow, so it’s been awhile since I’ve had the SV out from under it’s table cloth covering, cowering in the corner of the garage like a wounded animal. (haha, what?!) But as it’s too cruddy to bike or really work on the Wagoneer, I was in need of a project to keep my idle mind…
Long time no see right? Sorry about that, it’s been crazy with work, life, and this jeep project I should have posted up months ago…. Anyhow, here it is in all of it’s moldy glory! The “Waggy” had been sitting for a number of years, it has a little rust here and there, but overall…
hit me up if you or know of anyone who wants it 🙂 http://seattle.craigslist.org/tac/pho/5069516696.html D700 body w/ battery grip and multiple batteries, and official chargers for both types of batteries 70-200 VR f/2.8 105 VR Micro f/2.8 50mm 1.4D 1.4x Teleconverter TC-14E II Need to save up for one of those new Sony A7RII’s, seriously…
swapping out themes, so if you see any issues please comment here and let me know, as I never seem to be able to find them all 😉 thanks! -peter
so I know it’s been quite some time since I last posted, life, you know how it goes 😉 anyhow, I had a small amount of free time this afternoon while battling a creative road block so I decided to take advantage of the sun and get some quick pics of the Strong Road Racing frame…
today the mailman was kind enough to bring me the Strong’s new stem and spacers, a gorgeous fillet brazed steel Sim Works Caroline stem made by Nitto in Japan. the spacers are also made by Sim Works and match the stem great! they’re actually the nicest, thinnest steel spacers I’ve seen! the stem is an…
lots of fun toys coming together on the Strong road frame, namely the custom made Rychtarski Columbus MAX fork (an awesome Polish company that makes beautiful bikes for INSANELY good prices!), King Headset, the recent wheelset build, and shifters. starting with the fork, it was made to the exact dimensions of the original Strong fork,…
