I think your parenthetical insert essentially disqualifies you...tool.

This is ridemonkey.com
garagewalldecorationmonkey.com is down the street
hahah...you b!tches dont know what you are talking about. 2009 is a new year, averaging 3-4 rides a week at this pointI think your parenthetical insert essentially disqualifies you...tool.

Who gives a 'Schmidt?
Sounds like this is gonna turn out to be one cool bike! Can't wait to see what Steve comes up with for it for you jn! I'm sure he'll think of some great things to do to your frame!
It won't be too long before J has good things to show. He knows what he's after, and I haven't had much to warn him about, honestly.
J's been great to work with, but his friend, Pho-Sizzle ... not so sure about that guy. Sounds delicious, though.

Any updates guys?
Not yet...I need to drop the 'schmidt in the mail! I'm just not in a rush
You will love your bike. Steve does a great job. Our frames are similar in size but with fairly different geometry. Mine has HA 71.5, SA 72.5, TT 24.8",BB drop 7cm,CS 17", 44mm fork rake F29 (100mm), saddle ht 81cm(center of BB to top of saddle via ST), 110x15 deg stem. It would be interesting to compare them side by side some day.

Gee...do you think Steve can weld? (you should have seen the miters!)

Pretty obvious this will quickly become my "go to" bike!

why doesn't anyone ever show full pics of steve's bikes? it seems like all you see is a couple shots from 100 yards away.

huh? You lost me?
i stepped away, sobered up, and re-posted.
Every once in awhile a bicycle shows up on here that makes me say WOW!
This thing screams Fun times!
Congrats, it won't be long now.

Wow - that's gonna be a big time winner of a bike! Keep the updates coming.
A look at the decal design proof. Should I shoot for the Sovereign-esque gold stroke?
How it would look on the frame:

I like it. the black inside the gold looks like carbon fiber weave or something like that.
Some post-PC pics...just waiting on delivery at this point

Oh yeah baby!
I see Steve used the "hooded" sliding dropouts in back. Did he say why he chose those vs. the other options?

They were my choice for sliders...cuz', well...I like 'em
Same reason we are swapping to them...stronger than the older style for sure.
Nice Jay!
jn - what are the gearing combos you can get with your set up? Damn that bike is wicked cool. Keep us posted with ride reports/feedback.
Another fine job by Steve on that one.

The HammerSchmidt setup runs on either a 22t or 24t chainring and once the overdrive setup is engaged, it multiplies the base gear by ~1.6 which gives an equivalent 36t if youre running a 22t or a 38t if youre running a 24t. So youve got the option to have either a 22t/36t setup or a 24t/38t setup.
Wicked cool is right
More data points:

Mark,
The hooded dropouts are better/easier to use when using TIG construction. The 'plate' version is intended for brazed applications, where one would fill the end of the SS and CS with brass (bronze). I did one bike with those D/Os with TIG and it was a real pain. Never again, despite the added cost of the hooded parts.
The difference in stiffness is marginal; it's really an issue of which style is best for the joining method.
