bicycle hats

made these hats last night and this morning. there are 6 of the full winter hats in various combinations of gray and black, a few normal 3 panel cycling hats with the same fabric, the rest are various patterned fabrics like the photos. some of them have retro reflective bits. i tried to take pictures of me wearing one of the winter hats, these were the only ones i got with the whole hat in the picture

derosa repair

i have no idea how this bike was damaged. somehow only the non driveside seat stay was damaged at all and the dents were on the top of the tube. i first cut the stay into 3 pieces so it was easier to heat and remove. when i cut the bottom section the section of tube with the dent sprang up about 2 cm. i heated the joints to melt the brass and then remove the tubes(did this outside so as not to breath the fumes from the paint)
i then cleaned off the excess brass and paint so i could match the stay.
i checked the dropout alignment before cutting and matching the stay. once the stay was matched to the other, i checked the alignment again before brazing in the new stay.

joselle's 26" touring bike.

just back from getting powder coated. this custom frame was the prize for the first female winner in the Tall-o-ween 5 bicycle race. joselle wanted a touring bike that she can also use as her daily commuter ride.
