24 BMX

I built myself a 24". It always helps to have a reference (for things like brake arm clearance) laying around. It has clearance for my Maxxis 2.4"s (NOS that are apparently discontinued).  Unfortunately the forks that are available will clear a 2.25". I am *going to make forks as soon as possible.

Greg's black to trans black: 14.7" CS, 27.2mm seatpost, tapered 34/44 headtube, Supertherm stays

 John's trails 20": 21.6 TT, 14.2" CS, 11.7 BB height

The captured nut seat clamp looks better, functions better and welds easier so I will try to use them on all the Stout frames from now on.

 Captured nut pinch clamp: much easier to weld but they cost 11X times as much as the normal ones.

 This frame will fit a 2.15" tire slammed at 14.7" and a 2.35" at about 14.9". Its got a Supertherm rear end which is .4 lbs lighter than the usual 1.2mm thick stays.

The winter weather has kind of put a bottle neck on stuff, specifically with powdercoating. I coat things on the porch of my studio so I am a bit susceptible to wind and rain. We had a good day finally and I got 3 of the ones in queue knocked out. I still have about ten others to go and it looks like this week is gonna be clear out.

The first tapered headtube I have built with. Definitely looking forward to seeing this one built out

 this color is pretty sweet- changes black to sparkle depending on lighting. Blackberry something...

 Desert critters out at NRA

 My bike chills out on a skateboard chair at Les' lot. I've got two different cranks and pedals because it is apparently possible to bend just one side. I cased a big transfer jump, my pedal gave out and the crank arm reached permanent deformation.

We took a run down south mountain on the big bikes. Back in the closet she goes for another year. 

Billy and Tony inspect some work at Les' place.

 Billy gets it done on my AM hardtail at Papago

Tony X-ed up on the funnest step down.
