As real as it gets

We are off an running!  With one finished (Phogsley), one being finished (Bellar's single speed), and two (JP Running and Pete Miers) in the que  we are stoked!  JP's bike should be interesting.  He says "I want a cruiser with loops for foot pegs and long chainstays.  I want it to be able to carry 14 chickens and a pig."  Not sure about the livestock but it will have the loops and some sweet curved tubes.

We decided to make plans to attend the San Diego Custom Bicycle Show on April 4th & 5th so look for us there.  We should have three bikes on display including the 'Phogsley' - a fat-touring bike built for myself.  See the photo below.  This is one monster truck of a bike.  It uses the Surly Endomorph tires for awesome flotation.  For this we used a 100mm bb shell and 150mm rear spacing.  Joe picked out some HUGE oversized butted tubing to keep it stiff but not too heavy.  So far the bike is everything I dreamed it would be.  I'm not totally sold on the dirt drops, but now that Stu has his tubing bender I may opt for some sick custom Ti bars of my own design....  the only word for that is - Bitchin.  ~jb
