Re: Re:

Nice looking frame - what is that bracket on the seat stay?

Is that a 29er? :shock:

It is indeed. Why the shock?

I'm not sure... but every time I spot a 29er I end up feeling shocked.
Maybe it's the size of those big hoops that is intimidating.
I really dunno.

But wait, is this one made out of Columbus tubing?

Here's a clue....

Made by my fair hands, out of Columbus tubing.
Have you not tried the wagon wheels yet? I'm a firm convert now, for the type of riding I do anyway

 

[26er]

Is that mild steel or stainless, btw?

Re:

Mild steel.
This was my first attempt at frame building so stainless is a way off for me yet.
One day though, maybe

I've done a bit of welding myself restoring old cars and I used to race Italian bikes made of Columbus SL tubes a long long time ago, so now I feel a little less intimidated...

Welding your own frames is impressive. Respect.

A little longer ride today, had to do some business by the Bay, then cut up into the Water District past Phoenix Lake and up Eldridge Grade to hook up with some guys I know at Hippie Hill, part way up Tam-maybe 18 miles and 1700' climb today...
