paragon 3 piece brake bosses..

What's he building in there !!

many tubes make for a strong joint

not the forks that will be used but I had to see what it will look like.

its my first tandem build ..

for me and my girlfriend

figure this would be the best way to get her into touring

had to design and build custom blocks and towers for this big beauty

Looking foward to getting out on the road with her for three weeks of cycling through Japan, sounds like a good way to test her out. Bring it on.

"IT LIVES" fly my pretty

OH yeah baby, very very sexy

just back from the magic hands of Peter at star enamelers

Up all night putting her together.

And it rained on my the first ride day "stink"

made for some good photos though..Now I have to wait for some clear weather to get to know her

properly, but riding up and down the car park at work she feels sweet..
