Well, unsurprisingly, after a pretty productive week in the workshop, I came down with some kind of flu bug which kept me in bed for a few days and out of the workshop all week.
I’m pretty sure this wasn’t swine flu, bird flu or any other random animal flu. Just plain old man flu.
Feeling much better now and hopefully be able to make up some time over the weekend.

Been a busy time in the workshop this week. Lots of repairs, catching up on building some new fixtures, couple of forks, finished one frame and started up on another.

So I just got delivery of some custom drawn 29er downtubes. There’s not much choice in 29er downtubes, they need to be long, especially for suspension (corrected) frames. I’m thinking some dimensions got lost in translation!

Tom came by to pick up his frame and forks last night. It’s a 29er singlespeed with sliding dropouts. The colour was RAL 8015 (Chestnut Brown). I expected this to be darker and more chocolately but it’s much more reddish than I thought. It’s really nice. I like it a lot. I’m pretty sure I’ll use this colour again.
