I have been putting in quite a bit of road miles and decided I need to just build up a dedicated road bike so that my state allroad can go back to the frankebike it once was. I looked at quite a few name brand frames that were used, the price of brand new road bike frames blows my mind. they...

I don't blame you there at all. Thankfully we have a pretty solid bike path network over here. Where I am at I also have plenty of back roads that don't have much traffic.

Been getting out on the bike a lot lately. Although I have been riding for over 10 years now I was never very into riding very far. I usually only would do 6 or 7 miles rides or I would just go to the bike park for the jumps. Maybe its just me getting older but this year I have been trying to...

Check out what got dropped off last week :love: Its currently getting installed, it has a lot of options so wont be up for another 2 weeks most likely. I will make another post with more info. I also recently got a "promotion". I am now Head of Manufacturing and in charge of it all. We had...

Was a hectic week at the shop last week. We had to shuffle machines around so we could have 2 chunks cut out. We needed thicker pads for these nicer machines. They are all poured now so waiting for it to cure so we can move machines back. On the Okuma with a robot I have been knocking out the...

Idk how I never came across this thread before. Bikes, Tools, Machining did we just become best friends?? :ROFLMAO:

Howdy from the other side of the state, Just want to say you have an amazing taste in vehicles! Excited to follow this thread.

On a whim I kinda ended up buying a new bike frame lol Been wanting one of these for awhile and found a good deal on a barely used 22'. Works out well because I will rebuild my transition smuggler for my wife. I swapped all the parts over from the smuggler. Its setup single speed for now...

Ive gotten alot of miles on coilovers over the years. If you want to priotize comfort then you would probably be better off with the VWR setup. You can get a good ride with coilovers but you need to pony up for the higher end setups. Not saying coilovers wont ride well but they definitely...

I am using the probe for checking parts. We have run enough of these and have it dialed in enough that very very rarely do things start coming out of spec. So I have a few specific features that are checked in the machine every so many parts. First and last part in each batch also go through a...

Well the robot ran its first night lights out and it ran great! Super excited to be able to wrap that project up. Well I can't wash my hands with it but now it requires very little work to keep it going. There was a lot of fine tuning and small details that it took to get it all working great...

It definitely does seem like you need to be able to sell your self. I've started keeping track of everything I've done around here to save them money and improve efficiency. When I first started here I reprogrammed the machine that made our lower receivers. When I started it was a 100 minutes...

I haven't lived a long life but in my 27 years Ive learned that I am not really great at anything and Im not that intelligent. I don't mean that in a "I want pity" kind of a way but that whenever you start to get an ego on something it seems like thats when you make a bonehead mistake and it...

The rain has stopped and the sun has come out of hibernation. Time to get the bikes ready for action. Got the park bike ready to rock with my 1 off stem, lowered the forks to 130mm travel. Ive got a new part coming for V2 of my front mount tensioner. Also have a pretty trick carbon...

Getting closer on the house. Hopefully can close before the summer. In the mean time the 150 is getting close to being the ultimate works 150. Scored some more trick parts for it. Titanium subframe from the factory team. Super rare part. Carbon Ignition cover ran by the Buds Racing EMX...

Thanks! Haven't really done anything at home. We are currently trying to buy my Wifes Great Grandmas house. She sadly passed away a little over a month ago. She has a nice little house with a about 40 acres. On her land is where my mother and father in laws house is as well and its the land I...

Been extremely busy at work. Here are 2 of my main projects lately. This Mill we had a 5 axis trunnion to it and I programmed it for AR15 Lower receivers. In the middle of getting the robot installed now. This guy puts out a Lower every 25 min or about 350 a week. We use to need 6 mills being...

oops double post

Long time no updates! Spring is around the corner so time to dust off the ol one fiddy and get her ready. I collected some parts over winter but hadn't actually touched the bike as I lack a heated garage. First parts were this billet clutch cover and the modified brake lever Next up was...
