BTW I see your area is in a major cold spell, hope you(and all others in in the affected region) are doing well.
thanks, Brian

Thanks, it was way warmer than they predicted today. I left the dog at home just in case.
The steel bike is a mix of steel tubes .8/5/8 dt and 7/5/7 TT with straight gauge stays, 26" MTB. The tubes TT/1.25, ST/1.25. DT/1.375. CS/.875, SS/.625
The aluminum bike is a time trial. That was fun! Mostly around 1.1 or 1.2mm 7005. I think the down tube is around 80mm in diameter before smashing.
I use two of those BBQ cans of propane a week to heat my 2,000' shop. I try to keep it above 50 or so. That isn't bad.
Nice paint work there Craig Ryan.
