New Welder

I have lost a few days from my welder breaking.

I was allowing someone to use my welder and the result was 4 days in the repair shop and a phone call that it is VERY broken. The repair is not worth the risk IMO and I have decided to buy a new welder. Tomorrow I am going to pick up my new Syncrowave 200DX. It is bigger, heavier and louder than my old machine but according to the technician it is repairable unlike my inverter machine. Funny thing is they get rave reviews. I will never buy another inverter machine.

Made some tools today since I was unable to finish George's road bike. I have lots of stuff ready to be welded tomorrow and Wed.

I did not mean this to come across as a rant but man was I upset that machine broke!

Cheers,
Drew

2012 going fast

- 01/20/12

Wow is this year moving along at an insane rate. I can not believe we are into January with no snow and the big news being a 1" dropping tomorrow. That hardly seems news worthy to me. I am sorry for the lack of updates but I have been working on my house as well as making bicycles. It is hard since I feel I use a good amount of my creative juices at work and then I go to our house and need to keep up the same part of my brain while working on the house.

Year in review

- 01/03/12

What a year. Being a parent has been a really amazing experience. I am struggling to find enough time in the day but it is all worth it. The bicycle industry had an interesting year with the economy below average and for us the weather was really rough. In the end we had a nice December and the weather gods paid us back for an awful August and spring.

More Titanium

- 12/08/11

Somehow I have been rather prolific this year. Despite being a new dad and having a rather hectic life I have still actually kept ahead of schedule. This extra time has allowed me to forge ahead with my goal of having the Ti bikes ready for 2012. I am not rushing but have a goal and I really want to meet it. This week I am making a bike for my buddy Shawn who has always been one of my main test people. Shawn is a rather accomplished rider and has a rich history in the MTB world. His comments are always welcome and he has helped me get great feedback on how the bikes work. It also does not hurt that he punishes the bikes in what might be some of the roughest terrain in the country.
