dang it bobby...

making progress on multiple fronts at the same time....yesterday was a tough one with making some modifications to my fixtures and bending chainstays. You know you are sleep deprived when someone orders a cross bike and you send them a design for a road bike, more coffee required.
Been enjoying reading mindless drivel from bicyce retailer (aka-velonews), I paid for this? for some reason an american talking about the great advances in production his company has made in taiwan is just plain nuts to me. I guess we will all be folding sweaters at the gap at this rate. I seem to recall a time in the 80's when I wanted to attend the vocational program but was pushed to 'college prep' classes instead. Well, here I am more than 20 years later and the only benefit of the college prep classes was typing (so I can waste valuable time wringing out my soul on this thing..ha ha ). I had someone ask me if I was an engineer a few days ago, I replied...''are you kidding? my dad is an engineer and would have killed me if I wasted that education on this stuff''
Picutred is some engineering for ya, had to modify my main tube mitering fixture to get the correct elevation and more alignment range to accomodate the clamping block that I replaced. I love milling aluminum! looks like a robot face too.
Thanks Don Ferris for keeping the numbers simple on centers...and in SAE!
