TIG / TOOL TIME Tuesday // - Here’s a two-fer: TIG-N-TOOL. Started in on James’s Marauder Ti and then switched gears and completed the update to my seat stay jig by converting the business end to run on a set of rails with one handed control and setup. Used existing parts and scrap to add the rails. Not sure why I didn’t make it this way back in 2013. So it goes! Can’t wait to cut some seat stays on this puppy. - Turntable Tuesday Playlist: • Bum Kon “Reagan Sucks” • Minor Threat “Look Back and laugh” • Strait Arrows “Middle Man” • Retainers “Teenage Regrets” • Hated Youth “Ban the Bible” Now go hunt these gems down on YouTube.

Marauder Ti SS // - Broke down my personal singlespeed this past winter and re-anodized everything to a bronze to rose fade with a few personal touches. - #singlespeed #titanium #hardtail

Clearances // - LETS GET IN CLOSE: How about we take a close look at all those spaces between spaces. Those negative spaces, Moriarty. - #titanium #singlespeed #hardtail

HOT SEAT // - Monday weld session. Wrapped up the majority of the welding on this Marauder Ti SS and now it’s just the seat stay bridge and small bits. - #titanium #singlespeed #weldeverydamnday

Progression / - The year is 2018 and I was curious about building a more progressive hardtail. I built two prototypes that Spring: One in steel with more progressive geo and one out of Ti that was more conservative. All it took was one ride on that steel rig to know I HAD to go back the drawing board and redesign the Marauder Ti to be more progressive. This is that bike. And THAT…. is all she wrote. - #singlespeed #hardtail
