The "Pocyclypse"

The 2.5" and 4" are welded and ready to coat or ship.

I'll squeeze in a resto-mod of an old Brooklyn DH frame's chainstay in the next few weeks. I'd do it now but the bearing clamp thing is 2.3" diameter and 2.5mm thick_ an odd size. So I'll have to order a foot of that stuff. The current CS is so badly cracked that a new design is necessary. My initial design had a cool complex curve to that upper tube but the chain clearance is apparently really tight on those jack-shaft bikes. So straight tubes with a little "S" bend for sprocket clearance will be the answer. 

 Myself and a few others at the factory got an all expense paid trip to Michigan for CNC maintenance training. I'd never seen lake Michigan before and the surrounding areas could be wicked on a sand bike, though I didn't see any actual bike trails. What look like little mountainous regions are really just sand dunes, so single track is probably non existent on the cool looking lake/coast.

Back here in Texas, things are as crazy as everywhere else. The local petro-chemical dependent economy is quickly tanking, people are hoarding toilet paper, snakes are tying themselves in knots etc. But hopefully the 86* F weather will keep the current pandemic at bay (or swamp)
