>PART HIPSTER, PART CAVE MAN, PART COWBOY

>I had a great week. Other than getting some of my jawbone ground down for a crown, I had few distractions and reasonable weather. I watched the dentist with a mirror and I must say he had pretty good grinding technique. Sometimes the grinder would whipper over to another tooth but ample anesthetic made the procedure no prob. I am sore and healing but better my face hurts than my hands.

  Here are some pics of Nat's frame. I have been dreaming about building a frame like this for a long time and finally here it is. The green frame is for Guy, and if I get time I will build it up today.

I curved the struts on this fork, it just ocurred to me as I was building it, fun.
Weekend, cool.


>THIS ISNT JUST ABOUT MOUNTAIN BIKING IN BEND OREGON

>Due to popular request and the fact I might be the ugliest person in my family I have uploaded a picture of Papa eating at  the Deschutes Brewery Pub on my birthday last weekend. That's a big plate of food and he CPC'd it. CPC if you did not know is "clean plate club". Thanks to Steve for the pic upload suggestion, also the indoor net seems to be working today, Ah rural living.

Also in my mind is maybe a common one with framebuilders, what color should I paint/powdercoat my personal bike? While riding in eastern oregon, see mountain bike camping trip my frame got pretty rusty, I think it looks cool but it doesn't go with the concept of a finished product and its longevity is decreased. So far I am leaning toward a classic Fat Chance Yo (the design inspiration for this bike) of blue to green fade, or Olive drab with desert tan racks, or flat black on the racks. Kinda recon for the pine tree desert of central oregon. What do you think? Or orange super sparkle?...
