    wow - this is soooo cool! plz keep posting the pixs, I think it's awesome you can "watch" your bike being built!
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

    Def will if he continues to put pics up. I didn't know he was going to do that, so maybe I'll shoot him an email thanking him and requesting him to put them up throughout the whole process.

    That jig is very interesting. Look at all the adjustments! Pretty cool. Salsa, have you been to the shop to see it in person or are you following the progress through pictures. It would be fun to watch it being born from scratch!

    I haven't been to the shop, just been watching her through the pics. It's so exciting when a new picture comes up though. I should look in to going to the shop, that would be sweet. It isn't too far away...

    This is the only place where women can coo over the birth of a mountain bike... can't wait to see her when she's ready to start wailing...
