Flannery was born last week. In this shakey heartbroken world a beam of light broke through and changed Andria’s and my life forever . Everyone is healthy and happy , growing and recovering . I couldn’t be luckier spending the rest of my life with these two strong, amazing, beautiful women .

Single Speed Full Sus — it’s a thing — converted an old suspension frame to single speed with a chain tensioning turnbuckle built into the side plates . This is version 3 of the chain tensioner. Happy with how it came out and would be fun to make some 26” slopestyle frames using the same idea . Anyways... this frame is 3-4 years old , I had the B+ wheels , the brakes I stole off my fat bike , and the rest was pieced together from the drawers . 34 x 17/19 gearing ( too high ) .. both cogs work with the chain tensioner ( luckily ) . The trails are still closed here so just mobbing the patio and hillside around the house .

Last of the samplers .. Shasta Lemurian Classic on my original Racing Couch suspension frame. Early Cow Mountain XC ( Lake County ) on my old custom Slingshot MTB . I miss XC racing pretty bad , that’s real mountain biking .

Sea Otter sample shots . Racing CX bikes at MTB races was always a horrible idea , but fun . In 97’ I had a R&D prototype elastomer Rock Shox with at least 25mm of travel , I loved it though , rode that thing everywhere.

Made a backing plate for a little chuck I had around . Should be handy for little jobs. I even got the math right for the holes 🕳.
