Steel gravel frame going to Redlands, Calif.

I build a lot of frames just like this- probably the most popular thing I build right now. Frame building is work and can be challenging at times but in the case of this frame I had a pretty easy Friday and part of Tuesday putting it together. Unfortunately the build overlapped a bout of intestinal flu late Sunday and all Monday. I got to know my toilet on an intimate level.......not fun. 

A little queasy and woozy , I got back to work and finished this one with no ugly surprises or train wrecks.

In spite of having no appetite and an unhappy stomach it was a good day in the shop- honestly, I really needed one.
