ICEBREAKER with 26" x 2.25 tires

I finally got this build put together!

I'll post a demo of the dog leash loop asap.
Morgan (our aussie-collie) loves riding through the snow! The bottom bracket is high enough that I can still pedal with him through 3-4" of soft white fluff, and plow right through snow banks.




Right now it is a frankenstein of parts from my shop and the salvage yard at the HUB Bike Coop.
1x9, SRAM X5 Der, GXP BB, Tektro Lyra discs w/V-Brake levers, 26" Bontrager Disc Wheels, 2.25" Bontrager Jones XC Tires.

So fast, so sweet...

AK's 'Dirty Gold' Track Fork

Building AK's fork
   Designed for a 700c x 25 track style for a 2008 Giant Bowery. I used chromoly blades, a 1/8 steer tube and plug style dropouts from Nova. Everything went together really well, and, it was really fun working with those tight clearances.






















Here are some shots of AK's fork after paint. AK picked the 'dirty gold' color. I love it.




Of course I had ran out get coffee right before she stopped in to pick it up!
