I’m on a tear. I’m selling t-shirts to help build out my framebuilding business. If you can’t afford to buy a shirt, could you help spread the word via Twitter or Facebook?

Man. I am way behind schedule on a lot of stuff right now. Work is kicking my ass senseless, and with the impending move and other fun, I can barely keep my head above water right now. Behind the curve on packing. Thus far, I have gotten the books and about 2/3rds of the bike [...]

There are things I wish I had paid more attention to in school that would help me a lot with my framebuilding. Math. No, seriously. There’s a lot of geometry and algebra used when designing a frame.
