The Red and white lugged bike is stunning. Who supplied the lugs for it?
Kirk Pacenti www.bikelugs.com
The green one takes me right back to the 90's with its classic good looks. Seems as if the top tubes run a bit shorter on the mtb's pictured, judging from the stem lengths I see there. Very cool looking rigs.
It's especially nice to see a well executed steel touring rig. I like that a lot!

Just so you know, I pride myself in being a true custom frame shop. I make what ever the customer wants. One man, making the best he can make. There will be more photos posted as time goes on. Thanks for the comments.
now THAT is porn 
Ted - did you build the fork on the Green mountain bike? I dig that color too. 
I did not, it was made by Christopher Igleheart, long time employee of Fat City. Chris has worked for me and Brew as well.
Yeah, I like the green bike, is it a 26 or 29r ? The white road bike with short top tube is nice; maybe it's just a small bike? That blue touring bike is sweet. nice work and thanks for sharing.
I've visited the Igleheart web site - gorgeous work.
Cool to know that you and he are connected.
On that bike - was it the fork builder's decision to go segmented or was it the customer's choice?
The fork is sort of a continuation of the Yo Eddy fork. Chris has been making them since he worked at Fat City. Customer's choice. The green bike was built for Bobby Earl. I think he works for Verizon here in the Boston area. 26" wheeled single track rocket. Not built for a suspension fork. The white bike is actually gray. And I think it's an optical illusion that makes you think it has a short top tube. Very common road frame dimensions. It is a compact that would be about the same as a 58cm seat tube with a 58.2 top tube in a traditional design.
Igle makes sweet forks with deep-roots. I have a few in the oven over there for a few of our bikes as well. I know Marty at Geekhouse has been using Chris's forks on his pursuit frames as well...
Beautiful stuff Ted.

Mickey - can you tell us a bit more about the guy who is welding the steel Spooky frames? Niall something or other right? It would be great to hear a bit more about him and his background.
Cheers,

Well, There are 2 people building steel frames for me. One is my buddy Niall Gengler
Niall went to the same sweet ass hippie college as me. www.hampshire.edu
I "majored" in something along the lines of bike racing.
Niall majored in bike building. He went to UBI, then co-taught Hampshire's frame building class with Mike Augsburger of One-Off Titanium (another Hampshire alum). He then did a semester and a half or so at I.F. He's from Providence, Rhode Island, is very damn funny, has a fish tank, and thinks unicorns are awesome.
Right now he is teaching the frame building course at Hampshire, building bikes for me and other custom clients, and doing amazing architectural metal fab as well.
Some of his work from school is on his flicker site... http://www.flickr.com/photos/ngcycles/
Niall is building our Kittenpaste sport-road frames, and custom steel. He is finishing up the purge fittings for our Anvil fixtures, and then sometime in the not-to distant but distinctly impoverishing future he will be doing some steel bikes as well. For folks who find me repellent but still want a great bike, I suggest you still get in contact with Niall via www.ngcycles.com
Chris Herting of 3D racing probably doesn't need much of an introduction. He was one of the original partners in Yeti and was the guy who built the first few runs of Spooky Darksides back in the day. He is doing our small-production steel stuff out in Durango. He's back behind the torches on the Darkside as well....
But please, back to Ted's Thread! He's paying for it after all!
