I finished my latest build about two weeks ago, so there is nothing new in the way of bikes. However, there are going to be drastic changes to the basement shop. New walls, new flooring, new lighting, a lot of stuff to make it more cheery. Besides, I really need a good spot to park the Barcalounger and curl up with a copy of the latest mag.

I had a 753. Took it to Breckinridge when I got out here and exploded the rear end. I miss mine for nostalgic sakes... otherwise, I'm not sure what I'd do with it.

They did replace the frame before going under/sold. It is sitting at my brother-in-laws house.

The Canfield Balance is going to the retirement home this winter and is getting replaced by something a little more versatile. A 62.5 deg HA is freaking awesome when the trail turns downward, but isn't very practical on a trail bike. The new bike is a lot steeper with a longer ST. I'm piecing it together as funds allow. Should be done by spring.

Also, I had a second custom Dobermann built and delivered late last summer. It's a sin to leave that frame hanging on the wall. Once the new trail bike is completed, the pennies will start rolling toward it.

This will be my 3rd PF. I broke the fram on the first and they gave me a new frame free. (went from a 755 to an 857 free WOO HOO). I miss the 8 series.... figured this will be a fun bad weather commuter/ easy trail bike. I don't see any hard service happening on it!

I changed the oil my 40. I'm cleaning out everything on my DH bike. Then I have to lower the float 32 on my hard tail. Gotta fix a set of Hayes Mags I got from Veloswap and put my 4X bike back together. Then its time to put new spokes on my DH bike. Also getting rid of my Monarch on my Meta 6 and replacing it with a Fox Float.

A lot of my work recently has been bike team stuff. Hey, check out my signature link and become a fan on facebook!

Now there's an idea worth considering. We need something like Iwantmymtb.com from the east coast (sadly demised). A site devoted to amateur films from the front range. There can be a festival, and the best films get put on the site.
