Bad Weather

With Mother Nature up to her cruel tricks again, we got about 8" of heavy wet snow on Sunday afternoon, as part of a fluke mid April winter storm. Nothing will stand in the way between me and my grill though...

The snow gradually turned into rain, and then the wind picked up. 30 mph breezes with gusts up to 70 mph. It stopped raining in the early afternoon, but the wind was relentless all day. Despite the power outages, and the extra work it created with downed trees and other mayhem, it did help to make the snowbanks disappear. The roads are pretty dry up here, and if it stays like this, we'll be riding again in no time.

I finished the big silver RIP9. Here are the pictures.


A shot of the green King front hub and headset framed my the DUC.


The matching rear hub. The rims are Stan's Flows with Panaracer Rampage tires.


The bike came in at 28.59 lbs, without pedals. Not bad for an XL frame.


Also in the shop today, we finished up a new Karate Monkey. This is a big bike. It's owner is 6'7. The wheels don't look that big on this bike at all.

I'll have more stuff to show and tell tomorrow, so come on back!
