Three years ago today I finished my first frame. I like to look back and see how far I’ve come and will hopefully continue to proceed. Still way fewer bikes than I thought I’d have under my belt by now (on number 17), but with a major cross-country move and this not being my only ‘hobby’ I can’t complain. Here are some photos of my first frame which is now hanging up in the shop.
hot!
if I had only used the pulser…
wouldn’t have mattered much…
Wishbone from Nova Cycles
Needed a beer after that welding
Ride 2 or 3
Facelift with some rattlecan Pumpkin Orange
Well, I think 17 frames is a pretty good number…
In any case, thanks for writing thoroughly about your process, it’s been a nice read so far.
Happy anniversary!
Dude, congrats! Hang onto that first frame even if you stop riding it, you’ll love having it in a decade or two.
