Tour withdrawal

The last week of the tour was good but not as great as the first two weeks.

This past week Phil and Paul let their emotions get the best of them and said some stuff that just seemed crazy. I still love hearing them since they mesh so well together and the random French facts are great but that time trial was a joke. Schleck hardly got a good time trial and they said it was the ride of his life. Sanchez lost 3rd with a time that was better than Schleck. Menchov is the man and he was the best finisher from the top 10 by minutes. On the 2 Tourmalet stages they just would not stop saying all the same stuff and most of it was rubbish. That is OK, it was great and I look forward to next year.

Got the drop outs today and got right to work on Tobias's cross bike. Should have it done this week and then onto Pav's road bike next week.

After Pav's bike I will be getting to work on a possible new offering. I will be making two Ti beta bikes (as well as 1 steel bike with the same aesthetic as the Ti bikes). If they go well I will build a 3rd one for myself and possibly have it at NAHBS in Austin. If my baby comes ahead of schedule it will put a damper on the program so we will see.

Here are some photos of Tobias's bike after the drop outs arrived:
