Make it in Massachusetts: Indy Fab, Fat Chance, Spooky, Seven, Royal H, Peter Mooney, & Geekhouse

Finally got around to installing the matching rear light, and tried the shrink wrap the wire along the cable trick. It came out alright, with a little force the wire can still move relatively freely along the brake housing.

I also need to order some Di2 sheaths for the routing of the cable up the fork leg.

I saved 4g with the top cap bolt.

And I guess 6g for 2 pinch bolts?

No savings on the actual stem bolts as I replaced Ti with Ti.

So 22g, that’s almost 1oz of whiskey!

I am now measuring my weight loss in bourbon!

That's what I've been using to measure my weight gain so I can vouch for the metric.

Weight gain, weight loss, waiting for the train; everything should be measured in whiskey.

Reading that took abound half a dram.

Really love this Spooky. Just hate that Enve stem. I think they look particularly bad atop a spacer stack. Soz.

Im with you on that. At 41 I can no longer “slam stem.”

I’ve vaguely been looking for chunky carbon spacers, perhaps with hollow walls?

I’m not a slammed stem advocate either. Even on my Seven I have spacers. I just think something less chonky looks better atop a spacer stack. Like a Sim Works or one of those low profile Deda’s that everyone puts on their 1” steerer tube Kirk’s.

Don't you hate it when you whip out your stem and everyone laughs at it?

Some interesting developments...

So today also had the very interesting development that we may be moving back to Cambridgeshire. It’s kinda predicated on what happens this week in govt. and the ex-wife (maybe) taking a 4 year vacation to Roscommon (with the older kids).

An old bike of mine just rolled into the shop. It’s a DeBernardi, the Massachusetts connections are the IF fork and Geekhouse powder coat. Glad to see it still on the road.

is that a Goldfrapp reference?

Any progress on the Geek house track?

It’s at the painters having the paint stripped. I’m going to pick it up next week.

Verrrry exciting. What colour did you go for in the end?

I’m going to use Brownell’s oxpho blue. And brass leaf the logo.

Here’s an old IF catalog. I’m in the background of a few of these pics that were from an Ally Cat. 3rd from the bottom, 4 from the right is the backside of the Best Man from my wedding.

Just seen this thread. Bad picture of my Indy fan steel deluxe 29er as attached . Post is out as needed greasing and since that photo , have added some rebas and riser bars . This is my bestest frame ever and I have had a few nice ones . Do not ride it as much as I would like . I bought 2nd hand and sent a note to IF who sent me original build sheet . Kevin Wolfson was nice enough to reply to say it was built for an if development rider Tom leahy .
