Four more frames to coat. The forks are 90% coated as well (one more to weld still). This new clear is a little cloudy but lays down very well and is thick enough to prevent rust in a single coat. Prismatic's clear is thinner and lays down a little lumpy, especially in subsequent coats.

Not perfect weather for statically charging plastic particles:

Outsource stuff

 Not much that I can show for the next few weeks, as I'm finishing a small run of outsource parts.

I have taken on a new design job at a large company, so I can now afford to keep the focus on custom bikes. It had been my plan to shift to a fixed product line, but making custom parts will be the goal again. So I'll keep doing what I've done for the past eight years and just make whatever people ask of me. It is a huge relief to get to make bike stuff and not have to make bike stuff.
