Looking for Balance - Titanium seat stay bridge ready for tacking/welding.

Zen - Nothing to see here other than a guy building bikes in a shop nestled in the woods..

Seat Stay Bridge’n - Today’s low was 1°. Tomorrow’s low is 20°. Friday/Saturday? -6°. Here’s to staying warm in a shop that has HEAT. A cozy shop is a safe and efficient shop. Still waiting on that argon though….

Marauder Ti in Process - Wrapped up Micah’s welding of his Marauder this afternoon. On to post mount, brace, bridge and small parts. 3x300 fresh barrels of argon should be here Thursday or Friday. I don’t normally cut it this close on weld outs of Ti but I ran it down to the line with the last stitch. Don’t have to lick out the can thankfully..

First Tracks :: - Took this MLK Day to head out on local singletrack for some fat biking. No one had been through the system with the snow dawg yet so Poka and I were making first tracks and breaking trail. Something I haven’t had to do in quite a while since the local trail gnomes got the groomer. This Martin Luther King Jr. quote seems appropriate on many levels: - “If you can’t fly, then run; if you can’t run, then walk; if you can’t walk, then crawl, but whatever you do, you have to keep moving forward.”

Marauder Ti in Process // - It’s Friday, I’m welding titanium, humming along when an old podcast I’m listening to naturally plays an absolute STOMPER of a garage lick. And of course after multiple searches (Google search is wanting…), deploying music “Ai” apps lead to “this one’s a tough one.. “ (yeah.. no sh!t Shazam) I’m coming up with goose eggs. - Ironically the break of the song? Lyrics are as follows: “I’m doing alright WITHOUT YOU!” Prophetic. Good thing we have titanium, dogs, punk rock and singlespeeds. - Editors note: I did a screen recording of the lick and loaded it to my stories. Free T-shirt if anyone can ID the lick..
