405 fork going out soon.
S&M bikes Sweet Leaf compression caps. Drugs aren't my thing but the plant really lends itself to graphic design.
My new Fox/Marzocchi external post is working well so far, aside from not being the same pull ratio as the (KS) thumb trigger that I'm currently using. I chose external routing because this is my amphibious bike and I can't have a hole in the seat tube_ letting in muddy water. The next frame will have a stainless BB and dropouts so I can really neglect the bike. I haven't sealed the vent holes of these steel cranks so I'm just waiting for the day when I'm walking miles back to the truck.

Still have one little touch up spot on the white 650 frame's paintjob. I went with paint on that one as it is easier to make perfect (subtract and add), where powdercoating is a one-shot (add only) deal. The downside is the cure time of paint. I could bake the stuff but there is always the possibility of bubbling.

650 DJ
The big teeth (32-36 front) will work, and a 28/14 will have ample clearance.
15.75" slammed. Stainless dropouts, Supertherm stays and main tubes. The dropouts are modular: so 135X10, 142X12mm SS or geared compatible. These are the 142X12mm single speed, AL parts. Headtube is an external headset (EC34/EC44)
405 ATC fork. 22 offset.
