Awhile back some of us around the shop were talking about how many frames and parts we have sold yet for some reason we've never seen what people are doing with them..I mean I know the welds are like a roll of dimes splayed down on a strippers buttcrack, but are people just buying them to hang on their walls as fine art?

The Tendon Terror

Here is another home shop built bike using one of our frames.
The Tendon Terror belongs to a local guy and shop friend Steve,There's a good story behind the name but I'll let Steve chime in on that if he wants.
Steve and his boys built this bike in their home shop and did a damn fine job.Steve had originally planned to paint it up nice, but once his wife saw it all mocked up bare that was the end of that idea.So here it is in all its naked glory.

el Pepito's new clothes...

Last year Travis ran this bike raw to work out all the kinks.Well the kinks are worked out and the bike as gone through a complete make over.He just got the freshly painted tank and fender on the bike and it looks great.

Customer build...

Here's what Arnie from Minnesota is doing in his home shop with one of our frames.
Note the nice red details,Arnies tells us the tank and fender will match that great candy red color.
Can't wait to see it finished..Looking good so far Arnie.
