REG HARRIS

PATRICK SERCU

1971 or so, HOOKED!!

That is all I can say.  These two racers and these two bikes.

I can remember reading about the two racers ( Do you know who they are?) and the bicycles speak for themselves. 

Frame Graphics Teaser:

This is just a tease.  I am having a decal sample display painted.  I will post photos when complete.

Head Badge Process

 Tube cleaned, fluxed with Magpie held in place.

 Add a little heat and silver; this is what you get

 Flux is then soaked off and if you did things kinda right there is little or no clean up needed along the shoreline

 Next, a little filing followed by a little sanding

Then a little elbow grease and a buffing wheel.

Ta Da, finished Head Badge.

This is what the final version looks like, two feet and a clean braze.

Busy

Finally, Fall is here.  For a few days anyway.  Things are going well.  Shop is pretty much set up and ready to roll.  Everything is in place to start cranking out frames.  I will try to update a little more regularly.

The Magpie is sufficiently rusted, so I had better get to work.

 I have been working on engraving fork crowns.  The logo fits nicely on a CX crown.

Here is the set up on the little CNC mill. 

This is a little better view.

Finished and Final version of the headbadges.  Many thanks to Neal at Vega.

This is a polished version of the prototype.  Missing a foot and not super clean, but you get the idea.

Decals are complete.  I will post photos soon.
