The fixed gear bicycle project is going slow right now, but it is moving forward. Blaine has the frame in order to remove the braze-ons. He should have it done next week. He's also considering doing a fixie. If he does, it won't be normal. I will have pictures of it, if it happens. But there is still work to do on the components. David, at our local bike shop, adjusted the bearings on my old front hub. It still turns well after all these years but was not very shiny anymore. A little Flitz polish and it's nice and shiny again. I always find polishing well used aluminum bicycle parts to be very satisfying. Taking something used and tarnished and making it shiny again for a renewed life. I know, if I was a real American I would just buy a new one.

I need to make a paint booth for frame painting. Out with the duct tape and cardboard.
