boxer bike progress

Downtube logoI joked on my Twitter that I would have this bike in my hands already if Dan hadn’t been so selfish as to schedule his wedding this week. I mean… he really should have moved it. That isn’t so much to ask, is it?

Despite my being a jerk, he was nice enough to invite Jane and I to celebrate with them last night. Jane took pretty photos of the surroundings while I snuck down in to Dan’s workshop and took spy photos of my new bike.

Apologies for the fuzzy “looks like it was a VHS screen capture” quality of the pictures. I only work with what I’ve got.

The logos came out pretty nice. They are a very light cream with a dark blue border. The colors really pop in person, on camera… well you know how that goes. I’m not sure if I am more or less antsy to get on it now. I’m guessing more.

By the way, the wedding party was quite nice and was catered by the Skillet Street Food truck.It was probably some of the best wedding food ever. Hamburger with bacon jam? Fennel Pulled Pork Sandwich? Sign me up.

All of Dan and Katie’s friends and family were pretty wonderful. I wish the best for the two of them, but I’m pretty sure they won’t need it.

    Wow! Mafac Racers and a double plate fork crown! Your going to have to get some tweed knickers and leather shoes.

    Very cool head tube logo.

    Sweet looking bike; I really dig the fork crown.

    Oh, and what are those tires!?

  4. Robert Says:

    Thanks for the comments, all.

    Dr C – Do olive knickers and synthetic leather SIDI’s count?

    Jason – The tires are a pair of Jack Brown’s (Rivendell) that I’ve had sitting in my house for almost a whole season. I thought they would fit on my Salsa but it was just a hair too fat (they are 33cm). I almost sold them to Dr. C actually… now I’m glad that we never got to make that sale.
