Until the shop closed it's doors for the last time yesterday, I was working at a local bike shop in Seattle for nearly 3 years as a mechanic. In that time I got to know a lot of great people, including my service manager who has ben an amateur frame builder for some time. This project is a collaboration between the two of us with my contribution being limited to filing lugs and finishing work, but it's been a blast thus far!
The project is a 650B Disc Brake frame with geometry mimicking the Surly Cross Check I've been riding for the last 2 years. It's built around a 650B Straggler fork to accommodate the Surly 24-Pack Rack that I can't praise enough for being awesome!
Excuse the Instgram filters, many of these photos were taken while drunk...
