logans bike back from paint and he is so excited

tommy just dropped logans bike off at my shop. the paint job is great. lugs are pearl white and the tubes are a pearled medium blue.
the frame is designed to run 650b wheels. logan plans to run a 105 triple group on it. the only hard thing is finding a 650b wheelset. the biggest downside of 650b is that there are only a few options for tires and rims. in my opinion the pros outweigh the cons, they are the perfect size wheels for touring bikes when they are built for people of medium height, the smaller size makes a stronger wheel than 700c but have a better feeling ride than 26inch wheels.

troy's bike back from paint

just got troy's bicycle back from villin cycles in gainesville florida. the paint job was a prize from the last Tall-o-ween bicycle race. we gave Lex free reign to do what he wanted with the paint job. after troy told him what what his components looked like, lex went to town on it and the result is a deep purple frame with pink sparkle and gold logo and lug lining. far more flashy than my usual, but it works with the style of the frame.

Logan's front triangle finished

starting to get back in the swing of things after a 5 week vacation in Berlin and Italy. here are some pictures of the finished front triangle of Logan's 650b touring bike. The s&s couplers were installed by Bilenky cycles in Philadelphia and the tubes were waiting for me when i got back from my trip. with the couplers already installed in the tubes, building the frame is the same as if the couplers were not there.
the lugs are Long Shen arrowhead design, the crests or "bat wings" are a nice aesthetic. they do make modifying the lug angles much more difficult. on this frame i decided to fillet braze the bottom bracket. this bottom bracket is designed with sockets for the chainstays. fillet brazing the bottom bracket allows for a broader range of frame geometries than a lugged shell will allow.
this frame is designed for loaded touring, so it incorporates an relatively low trail front end, 55mm fork rake, 73 degree seat tube and headtube angles. it will be able to accommodate a lowrider front rack.
