I know! That's going to suck. I guess I should have said I'm moving on to the build phase. The ride phase may not come until June.
Get to it. ;) |

That sounds an awful lot like a deadline. I'm dodging deadlines pretty aggressively these days.

And I appreciate that. I was just saying that I'm not exactly getting things done at record speed lately, as is evidenced by the three weeks it took me to go from starting to paint to installing the headset. :)
I was on track to finally get back out to the Gorge last Sunday, had fellow workers lined up and all. Wheels fell off later Sat. when Ms. merziac got sick and put that away. So I may try for this Sun. and or Sun. the 15th so we'll see, weather may have other plans. ;) Feel free to join in either or, maybe. :) |
Finally, at long last, the completed bike...
https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...b795f5a2_b.jpg I don't have anything better than a dirty garage door picture at this point. Often I'll roll the bike out for pictures in front of the empty field across from my house, but today someone was parked there. I've made a habit lately of consulting [MENTION=401497]RiddleOfSteel[/MENTION] on aesthetic choices like bar tape and cable color, but since he built a red Allez not long ago, I was able to see what he thought without bugging him. There are quite a few other red Allez pics on the internet too, so this one wasn't hard to visualize. The white cables were inspired by the pics [MENTION=431307]Dean51[/MENTION] sent me of his 3Rensho Allez. I was planning to use black sidewall tires, but I tried these from another bike for clearance info and loved the look enough to keep them.

[MENTION=111144]Andy_K[/MENTION] Very Classic! Also inspirational! I may just sand down my 760 and put another coal of black on it. The 610 should be my painting skills test after the 760.
Applaud the salvation effort too! Great job [MENTION=381793]gugie[/MENTION]! |
