Stuff coming back from paint....







Ok, its time to start getting some stuff back. This is Hebert's bike.
Pacenti pro lugs, Pacenti rear drops and Artisan BB shell. Painted by Spectum in Co., this frame is dead sexy! Sachs crown. More coming soon as these were from the painter! DW

Coming soon....

The shop is almost totally set up. I am looking to get one or two more pieces of machinery, like a drill press and another mini mill and we'll be off to the races! This doesnt mean I am not building frames now, it just means I want to build them more efficiently.
The Tig welder is back now. I have to get the shop wired for 220 and hopefully insulated, cause damn, its cold out there!
Up next is James stainless lugged beauty, Nate's fixie training bike, Josh's road bike. Feels pretty good actually getting stuff done again.
Heberts bike should be back from paint anytime now. Pics coming soon!

Ok, lets talk about TIG

Nope, not "Tigger" from Winnie the Pooh. A new Tig rig is "in the hizzle."
Well, its new to me. Much thanks to Dave Bohm for sending me his old machine. It needs some work, but once its running at 100%, theres going to be a few changes happening here at Don Walker Cycles.
I am going to be practicing for a while, but once the practice is over, I'm going to start offering Titanium frames. Yep, you read it here first.
I have been buying up some more machinery and tools to make my shop a more efficient place to work. I will be posting some pics here shortly when the shop is completely set up, but trust me, its going to rock!
