Cleaning house

Spent a lot of time over the last week and a half cleaning up and refurbishing the "shop". My basement is now slowly approaching what might be construed as a workable place. I also finally got around to piecing together bamboo and carbon for the next bike.

I ended up ordering chainstays from Edge Composites, and they're awesome, except now I have to figure out how to use them with the dropouts that I have. In an ideal world, I would probably try to fabricate some new dropouts from Titanium using some Paragon Machineworks bits and some tubing, but that is extremely unlikely for the near future as I have zero titanium welding ability.
