Seat Stay Beesness

got bees? . . . One day you come home from work and as I say, "It's just kind'a like that". Now what? I'm not a bee farmer . . .


but Andy & Wendy from Nowachek Apiaries are.

. . . . got bees?

Now that the chainstays are on, it's time to align them. They were not off by much. This is just one of the many tricks I have up my sleeve to make sure they are in good alignment. I have a granite taple top for an alignment table. I just haven't gotten to making that yet. From all my tests, everything is within less than a millimeter. I know some people like the get the alignment to where the thickness of paint can throw it off, but at some point I think we reach the point of diminishing returns considering how much a frame flexes during a ride.

There you have it. Ready to braze.

This Saturday is the Mustache/Judgment day ride.

Grow it, Stick it, Draw it on. You must have a mustache to ride.
Also this date is the same day some people believe is “Judgment Day”.
