Gettin jiggy wit' it

so i have been gagging to get my hands on a frame building jig and to my joy one popped up on ebay the other night! today i took the grueling trip over the wet and grey pennines and m62 and this is the result. I bought the jig from adam at flandria bikes near preston, he definitely has his priorities right and had just boiled the kettle ready for our arrival. the jig is basically brand new as it was custom built at british aerospace along with its twin and this one was put into storage and never used.

me with the jig in its new home.

Let's get crackin'

welcome to my blog. so first off i want to say a few shout outs. first to kevin my girlfriends dad for letting me work from his garage. sam for designing my logo and to liam for taking the following photos during a day that he spent over here in york a few weeks back. my biggest thanks goes to kayti, nothing i'm doing would have been possible without her help!

also today was exciting as i put in my first order for my head tube badges, got the blog running, made this first ever post and the macaframa film showed up in the post this morning.
