Track Anthem!

Here's some progress on the latest build, for Chris. Straight up track frame, "plain Jane" is what he called it, no braze-ons, no bottle bosses, no hanger....
should be nice. First time for me decorating the lugs a little, and so now we will see how it goes.





"And we've been burned by all our fears just from growing up around here. Our father's factories marked our cards, while Eden burned against the stars. Sally said, Sally said: i can't take no more regret.  They cut us deep into our souls, came and climbed into our beds...."



Progess on the frame. Tubes are pretty much mitered and need to be cleaned and stuck in the jig- ready for some brazing. I did a little more lug work, kind of fun to get creative.





Finished! Thr frame came together nicely and built up quickly and easily too.  Here is the last pictures before stripping it hack down and adding paint, decals and a headbadge.






Update 10/14/15: first coat of paint! white now, green later.

Hardwood Softgoods handmade waterproof frame bags and packs

Frame bags and packs from Hardwood Softgoods. I just got these to try out, and they seem awesome! I have a waterproof Fat bike frame bag with a big pocket on one side, two compartments inside and another (waterproof) zipper pocket on the other side. Snug fit into the frame and plenty of beefy velcro straps to mount it inside the main triangle.


The other bag is a handmade seat pack, with room for a spare tube, some tire levers and whatever else you might need on your ride.  Awesome colors with a magenta/royal blue, strong velcro and a one piece strap for the seat rails.
Excited to mount this on the first SideShow and put it to the test! Big shout out and thanks to Hardwood Softgoods here in Vermont! Check them out and get your frame bags ordered HERE.
