NEW TUNES FOR MY SHOP -- Look closely and you some of you may recognize the Landshark logo on my new shop speakers. Yep these sweet sounding speakers were built by my good friend and fellow bike builder John Slwata of Landshark bicycles. When John is not making carbon he finds time to build some really nice speakers.

FULL RACK OF BIKES -- Here is the result of a couple days of hard welding. When I get to the Vanilla workshop to help with a run of Speedvagens they have all of the tubes mitered and fit up so I can weld till my eyes fall out. Scott, Greg, and I put in a couple hard days to get 32 bikes welded up. After I leave they still have to braze in the seat stays and the small parts (and do the finish work) and then the frames can go to the paint shop.
