Isen workshop: adventures in batch production (or not...)

More 57's. This is what I see when I close my eyes at the moment.

Flippin' wicked. Awesome proper first ride out today. Up to the museum at Madonna del Ghisallo and along the lakeside of Como. I'm very jealous, thoughts of my own future n-1 bike are now incessant!

Wonderful that's really great to hear.

Really jealous. Can't wait for mine now.

@coldharbour, less posting, moar building (please) - as long as mine is complete before @amey 's DBAD fiasco I will be fucking happy

That's clearly not much of a deadline. My children will have left home before he finishes that thing...

dbad is semantic shit now. success ? fiasco ?

My children will have left put me in a home before he finishes that thing...

Just sent this lot off for 'artisinal birdge' and paint. I've got 10 frames left to weld, all mitred.

birdge?

Bridge?

No, they will be having their 'birdge' motifs welded in today. The bridges are next week.

I hate my phone.

So, any idea of eta? Also where does the rear brake hose route through?

Goes into the down tube on the right hand side (you can see the uncut sleeve in the picture above, then comes out just above the bb on the nds. Then there's a little guide on the outside of the nds chainstay for it to go through. I think I might stick a p-clip on the bb cable guide to keep the cable a bit neater, will depend on your hose / cable though.

Saw these at the weekend. SO MANY FRAMES! Top work from all involved.

You have the patience of a saint and experience dealing with overexcited children. This makes you the perfect bike builder for dealing with @dancing james as a client. Godspeed.

List of frame builders who have had an over excited James asking when it will be due

It's pretty rare for people not to be excited so more than uses to it. Have to admit that this number of people getting a bike at the same time does make the fear of #pitchfork.jpg slightly terrifying, but so far it's not descended into chaos. What size is yours James (I don't have names just numbers)

My nightmare.....

Is he holding his front brake or his back brake in that picture. Hard to tell.....

What's the build number on that pitchfork?

Final piece of the puzzle.

It's bent, start again.

I prefer "artisinally misaligned".

Not completing frames properly is very de rigueur these days, so you are bang on the pulse

Very novel idea

This has already happened and possibly will happen again :p
