It's a fat wheel bike with thin aluminum tubing. The drops are some inexpensive forgings. I sometimes use them (or others) with most of the dropout cut away.

I know you work with a gent with a lot of years under his belt. Ill bet he has some interesting bits. The big machines are cheap here. The area is known as "precision valley" as there were a lot of tooling and machinery makers in the area at one point.

Have not been as well as I would like so that has slowed me down a great deal but the shop awaits and as winter turns to spring I figure I will get busier and busier here.
