Day 25...I Have Pics 2nite!

So Im not even going to talk about the "goals" thing tonight.  Its too much of a sad state of affairs, that I think until I have something concrete to tell Ill continue the posting.  Albeit it will be more along the bike stuff that takes place in my little world.

On that note, today was a pretty productive day in the home shop.  2 sets of tubulars, 2 diff clients, got their first coat of glue, and are curing as "we speak".  One is a pair of "Classics" wheels.  Nice low profile alloy rims w/traditional 3x spoking, and a set of Vittoria trainer tubies.  They are going to one of the "heads of state" over at Frites En Mayo.  The second set is going to a new client who races for the Pro Design Cycling Womens' Team.  She has a set of, fresh out of the box, ZIPP 303 Firecrest wheels, and Vittoria Evo's for tires.  Once permission is given to use her name, Ill throw it out there for everyone.  Definitely devoted as she works fulltime and just CAT'd up to a 1!

The other project was for my man Pete Lopez.  This guy has more Independent Fabrication bikes than most shops!  He broke a frame and found a replacement while the original gets fixed at IF HQ.  Nice lil Reynolds 853 rig.

One project left, respoke a Williams Cycling Wheel w/its original hub.  Waiting on spokes then that will be a fun couple hours.

Tomorrow will be more glue and the finishing work on Pete's bike.
