Here are pictures of the few ones getting shipped this week or the ones going to Unicon
![]() ![]() ![]() This is the last batch for a while. Since I am leaving for Unicon next week and doing muni trips after, it might be easily a few weeks before I make any other. Then it also depends on my futur job to decide if production will restart after Unicon. I want to thank everyone who trusted my welding, drawing and planning skills enough to place an order! I have lots of riders to thank for info and parts that have helped me making these straight and "standard". Making these has been a dream for a long time, and being able to make these nice enough to sell to riders around the world is just feeling insane. Please, keep me posted with those pictures, every single picture posted just makes me happier ![]() I hope every one will enjoy their frames as much as I enjoy mines! ![]() |

So, Jakob I guess I'll have to wait a while for a Reeder. Nice work on the frames. Maybe if you do Ti one day I'll have to put in an order. I really like my road bike, and Triton seems to be doing fine with uni frames. I'm looking to move my whole cycle fleet over to Ti (except my Big Dummy).

Hey Jakob. Are you a fabricator/welder/engineer by trade? If not, you sure as hell could be with the skill you're exhibiting!

After seeing how shiny my Darryl is, I was feeling inspired and went out and bought some stuff to make my frame POP (not that those welds aren't enough):

Canadapost says Thursday, which is awesome cause that's my day off...
I'm gonna try just polishing every other month or so first and see if that get's old. If it does, I'll go back to a brushed finish and let it go. They already look great, I just thought it'd be cool if I could match my Darryl. I still haven't quite decided if I'm going to do it though, polishing the welds and around the cable guides seems like it may be tricky...

Wow, that was fast! Got home today and saw a box. I thought it was some other stuff I had ordered, but I saw Flansberry on the return lable and couldn't get the box open fast enough
![]() Jakob, the frame is absolutely beautiful. I love round crown frames, and the larget crown area on these is very appealing to me. VERY light, and seems to be strong (as well as I can tell by flexing the legs a bit with my hand). Admittidly, I don't want to flex them too much as I'm still fairly new to aluminum frames and don't know what they can take as far as lateral flex. Hopefully some since I have to flex it a bit to slip past my rim ![]() As far as polishing goes, I'm actually digging the brushed/industrial look, and think I'm going to leave it alone for now. It screams MUNI! Jakob, I really hope you'll find a way to keep doing this. If you do, I would absolutely buy another one some day. Anyway, I've already told you what I think of the whole exprience. Good on you dude. These are freaking awesome. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Edit: I had to edit this post because it had too many smilies in it! ![]()
