Hey all! I’m in Portugal, enjoying the sun, sand and beaches. Found a cool little mountain town called Monchique. If you’re interested in a frame don’t hesitate to email me. I’m checking often and we can start talking about what you want.

Finished hours before I left for a three week trip. Colin’s raw steel ss that will use the Exzentriker Trickstuff ( www.trickstuff.de.) eccentric bottom bracket.

Alright, Miles Bicycles has signed on to the SSWC Run What Ya Brung Show: www.milesbicycles.com

Filling up fast! This should be a cool event with dirty, ridden hard single speeds crafted with love and care.

Josh Stephenson visited my shop a bunch this spring. We had some Yerba Mate and shot the breeze. Here is a short of what we talked about: www.durangoheraldmedia.com

Thanks Josh!

In RAL 7036 powder, I think it looks nice. This’ll be run in the SSWC ‘09 with a Soulcraft convert. Can’t wait to see it built up and riding!

The family and I are off to Sweden this weekend. No frame building for three weeks. I’ll be available by email though, so if you have any questions/thoughts let me know. When I get back there will be a month and 10 days ’till the SSWC. If you need a bike for the race, I can get it done.

Alright, the weekend has borne fruit….. Two more builders to add to the SSWC 09 Run What Ya Brung handcrafted single speed show.

Our first international entrant, Shand Cycles out of Scotland: www.shandcycles.com

And Bicycle Bound out of Port Townsend, WA: www.bicyclebound.blogspot.com

Get a spot before they’re all gone!

Clay’s Ti frame is done (finally!). And more importantly, I finally can upload pics of it. It is sporting the sweet swinger dropouts from Blackcat Bicycles  www.blackcatbicycles.com in titanium. Have a look.

So, I’m trying to post shots of recent frames and some ghost in the machine is not allowing it. My web savior, Tim H., is working feverishly to get the shit squared so I can once again show you all what’s new at Norse……

So we’ve had great response so far on the show. I’m stoked to see builders throwing down for the event. SSWC 09 participants are going to be treated to some serious eye candy that hauls ass too.
