Fresh Back from the painter is Eddies new ride.

Its not going anywhere anytime soon or else it wont be pristine for NAHBS.

DW

Done...outta here for paint.

There it is. Done. I feel pretty good about this one. I think its some of my best work.
Judah seems pretty happy with it, just from the pics on sffixed.com he has seen. I think he will have a good time on this bike for a long time.

DW

Another one down...

Ok, it will be done today...This bike is for my pal Judah, in San Francisco. We went with the True Temper "Velo" tubeset. All thats lacking on it at this minute is finish work. I plan on having it done this afternoon. It will head off to the painter and be sprayed a "top secret" color. Just look for it at NAHBS....you wont wanna miss it!

DW

You wouldnt believe how busy I am now.
I finished a frame for Eddie B in NYC last week and have 2 more on the chopping block.
