  I also built a new stand for my jig which rotates. It's super handy idk why I didn't do it years ago.

  In the new year im gonna build my dad a minivelo. Like a velo orange neutrino - big tyres, comfy, IGH, maybe belt drive, probably 853. Rly excited.

  After that i'm gonna build myself a new hardtail, theres a few changes id like to make, both to the frame and to my process and id like to experiment on my own frame. Primarily, I intend to set up the lathe to mitre tubes and figure out all that. Im gonna make the frame a bit slacker and add a few water bottle bosses/rack mounts, as well as experiment with some brake mounting changes.

  Im really into Reynolds at the moment, the 853 range appeals for a lot of builds, they have a great selection of butt lengths.

  Also i forgot to put up pictures of the road frame i built for my gf last year. I was quite happy with it and she really likes it. However i wish id made it a bit more compact. It was painted by a local guy who did a decent job but not fantastic, probably wont use again. The colour is nice tho.

  I think its gonna be a cool frame. I'm starting on the next hardtail for a friend in the next few days and aim to get it done before the new year. Its also full 853/Columbus rear.

  Its the second frame i've built for him, hes gonna race the Atlas mountain race on it in Feb.

  I built the hardtail for my gf. It was quite uneventful, i'm very pleased it came out nice. I worked all out on it and got it done in 4.5 days, which is very fast for me especially for a hardtail. We opted to rattlecan it for no so i'm currently in the process of painting it, but i'm taking my time and will try and do a nice job. When i find a reliable powdercoater near here we'll probably get it done properly.

  The geometry is quite similar to mine except slacker head angle at 66.5. I thought it would inspire a bit more confidence. Its an 853 DZB front end and columbus rear.

  I do really like that frame and if i think about it too much ill want to keep it, but its just not getting ridden and i dont have the room. This was my favourite configuration
