gm gm How are your goals for the year going? I had a great chance to relax over the long weekend, do some reflecting, and refine my plan of attack for the second half of the year. Feeling re-energized and ready to rock. higher

New chain day! Iykyk Happened to have a nice replacement on hand that I picked up at a recent swap meet. The “$2 if it fits in your hand” pricing was good to me!! Gold chains only 😮‍💨

This jewelers saw is becoming my favorite tool. Takes way more time than power tools but is very precise and more useful than I imagined. I broke a ton of blades at first but cutting fluid and being as gentle as possible helps a lot.

6/29 /commit Joined a little group ride on a route out to the NE of town that I hadn’t caught in a bit. Nice distance to wrap the week. Made it home just before the rain!!

6/27 /commit Friday morning run 🏃 I thought it would wear off a bit more than it has, but these new shoes still feel crazy to run in. Way more support, springiness, and… sound? than I’m used to. I’ve got people on the running path hearing footsteps 😆 They feel fast

Bike frame build update: I made some solid progress on two quickly converging paths this weekend: 1. Nearly finished filing the front triangle tubes at the junctions to meet neatly exactly where I want them. The proportions of the tubes and BB junction are looking good. The big headtube is proving tougher to get right but i still have a little metal to work with 2. Figured out a way to use some extra extrusion to extend my back triange jig to hold the seat tube, down tube, and head tube. Still a work in progress and will need lots of adjustment but doesn’t seem to take much to hold these lightweight tubes Things are coming together and it’s starting to finally look like a real bike. This might work 😈 I’m stoked!
