BREAKS OF 10

i have a little interview over at breaksof10 with a bit of an insight into feather cycles and what its all about.

i've been working like a mad man to get a few frames ready and up for sale! here is a few snaps we took yesterday, mid clean up, of one i just finished today.

there's also an opportunity to get your hands on a frame i built jig free. it's exactly the same geometry as the frame i built for myself, 55cm with 73 degree head tube and 74 degree seat tube. the paint is a bit bubbly under the bottom bracket as i tried a new painter out and he refused to re-paint it when i told him i wasnt happy with it. its also got a small dint in the top tube right at the side of the headlug that also happened at the painters. i didn't even want to show this frame but there is no point it sitting in my workshop when someone could be riding it. its frame only but i would make some forks if anyone wants to buy it as a frameset! email me if your interested.

the moment i have been eagerly awaiting!

so, finally i have a couple of frames fully painted with head badges and decals. me and kayti spent half of sunday in the studio making sure we had some perfect shots for everyone to have a good look at my frames. i am so chuffed with how they have turned out. i hope you like them and can take the time to have a look through my flickr and see all the detail shots!

progression

today has been pretty sweet! first off my headbadge sample showed up which i am more than happy with, i should get my first batch early next week! Then i picked 2 frames up from the painters. i have posted a couple of teaser photos and will have studio shots up by tuesday or wednesday. also i was just given a surprise from kayti which happens to be the feather cycles bottle opener keyrings, i will let you know how you can get hold of one of these soon.

grafters hands and the headbadge, pow!
