… and taking advantage of the expandable bottle cage I bought for this machine last year. You can’t fit a 750ml wine bottle into a traditional bottle cage without bending the dickens out of it but this one (an Arundel Looney Bin) cheerfully expands to fit.

A brief bit of clear sky lined up just right to put a rainbow across the street from Henry Higgins this afternoon.

Dust Mite helps box up a bicycle frame (and discovers a couple of paint nicks in the process).

I ran out of room in the saddlebags, so I propped a bag of soymilk on the top of the longtail; only 20 pounds, but high & loose enough so that it managed to provoke xtracycle shimmy despite the stupidly low trail fork I’ve got on this machine.

Approximately a year after building it, I finally painted the mountainhack’s fork + rack. Sadly, I couldn’t find the exact fluorescent pink I used before, and the one I used to replace it ended up being a darker pink in all but sunlight.
(there are still things that need to be done to this frame; I need to reposition the pusher boss, paint the NDS rear dropout (I stripped the paint off it so I could braze on a pump peg one morning when I was doing a programming contract, so I didn’t have time to clean & paint it then and subsequently kept putting it off), and fish power through the frame & fork.)

The topcoat (hopefully; I may need to put a small mask on and slide the seatstay fade down a little bit) is curing, and then decals + topcoat + mailing.

Why, yes, we do have a space heater running downstairs so that the cats can sit by it and warm themselves. Why do you ask?
