Speaking of things that makes me happy

You should do 1 of those golf ball aero pits on the head tube.

Excellent idea, although I might let the client do their own dings and dents.
Also I am legally forced to say that they are not a Star Wars nerd and that the reference is not theirs either :)

hot damn!

Thanks! I'll share some proper photos soon. Currently waiting for materials to arrive for the matching forks and waiting for tubes and stuff for the Boba Fett bike as well.

And while I am waiting I decided to give the powder coating oven an overhaul. Turns out wood is not such a great material for ovens. Especially if you use scrap metal of different kinds that move when the oven is hot.
Wires also got a bit hot so v2 will offer better shielding for the wires. We learn a lot by embarking on this sort of nonsense mind!

That's a great photograph, there's summat about workshop pics when they're in black n white.

That headtube lives in two different time zones

The fake bokeh or the fact that its aero but ancient times?

Bravo!

Just for the sheer lenght! Long live giant headtubes!

Haha I see

How long do the aero dimples take to do?

the "tapered" transition from the headtube to the cups is stunning!! love it

Seconded, that flange is lovely.

After two very depressing days I was cheered up immensely just now when the UPS guy brought my new Wit Slingers framebags and custom flag. Thanks Tijmen - I know Hayley would have been a great fan.
Hayley and Tijmen where the first of my customers to have smileys on their bikes.

The smiley is a weird one. It's sort of anti-aesthetic / anti-architect and just silly really. But they are a reminder that cycling is supposed to be fun and Hayley was very good at reminding me this. She has helped me be a truer version of myself. More fun.

I will miss our WhatsApp chats, her lengthy posts on here and her constant support of my work.
Rereading her last text from Sunday show this. I was not expecting her passing. I wish we had the chance to hang out a bit more. Preferably on an ride to Epping or something.

Thanks Lfgss for all the great people you bring together!

The last time I saw Hayley, I was lucky enough to have a go on this bike. I think you both made something to be proud of :-)

Thanks guys.
