Why we ride.

This video is simply amazing. Some of the best stuff I have seen in a while. These guys take the words right out of my mouth. This video makes me happy to be a framebuilder and a cyclist. Thank you Rapha for a great piece of work. I hope to someday work with you guys.

On a side note, Jane's bike is well underway! I hope to have it finished up and off to paint by the end of the week. I'm also working on several other exciting projects that will be involving Stinner Frameworks. I hope everyone is enjoying the long weeked. I will be enjoying Memorial Day tomorrow with some single speed goodness. 34x17=pain and pleasure.

I also want to thank everyone for their support in my new business. You have all been wonderful and I hope to have you all on Stinner at some point in your life. If anyone out there is interested in getting a frame started, please don't hesitate to get a hold of me! Cheers!

10/4

So it has been a while since I have checked in. I apologize to those that have been dropping by and havn't seen anything new. A lot has been going on. Some personal. Some business. All is good though! Lots of positivity and some riding as well. Here is one project that I just finished. I have been using a friends alignment table (which was great, but not practical). Finally I created my own! It is so nice to have it in the garage. Its a 2' x 3' slab of granite. Also known as a surface plate. The thing weighs a ton! Which means, when I'm alone, I have to scoot it around on a series of blocks to raise or lower it. I feel like an egyptian building a pyramid. Its finally in its home though. It feels good to add this to the shop. I can't wait to use it.

Jane's race rig has begun! I have to work at the shop tomorrow but Wednesday will be my first full day working on it. I can't wait. This project has me really excited. I hope everyone has been riding and they enjoyed TOC.

Here is a great jam to take you guys out on. I hope you like it.

Back to the Bench

So I got home from New Mexico on Monday and it was right back to the grind. I got a ton of stuff done this week and it felt really good to be back home in my own shop. Working out of trailer for 8 days was fun but its nice to always come home to ones own shop. I got Perrys SS 29er pretty much all wrapped up this week. It is ready to go to paint. I am really excited about the paint job for it. Im excited to see how it turns out. I have attached a few photos below to show you the frame at different stages. I also managed to get 5 days of riding in this last week. It felt great, even though I didn't find my legs until friday. Driving to NM and sitting in a follow vehicle for 5 hours a day does not work well for your legs, despite what one might think.

Next up on the chopping block is Jane's high speed road race rig. Im really excited to start this project.

I hope everyone is living well and riding a lot. I'll check back in soon.

Here is an awesome jam to take you guys out on this Sunday night. This is Iron and Wine covering New Orders "Love Vigilantes". I absolutely love this song. Put the feet up, grab a glass of wine and be happy to be alive.
