Chapman Cycles: If you told me a few years ago that I'd be building bikes with thru axles, I would've thought you were crazy. I just can't say no to some people. Paragon fork ends trimmed flush with the dynamo hub axle.
Chapman Cycles: To give you an idea of how long this bike is taking, I'm on number 53 right now. T47 bottom bracket with cable guide, hose guide, and what appears to be a cake decorating tool in between. This bike has everything. #t47 #chapmancycles
Chapman Cycles: Sandblasting before priming. Finally getting some paint on this busy frame and fork. #sandblasting #chapmancycles
Chapman Cycles: Making chips with the VAR 966 crown race cutter. #vartools #madeinfrance #chapmancycles
Chapman Cycles: Minor mods on the Anvil Post Punk to cooperate with the thru axle. Long time project coming together in the new year. #chapmancycles
Chapman Cycles: Trying to take a photo of the one part of this bike that I doubt that I will ever see again. Taillight wire exits from the chain stay underneath the flat mount disc through a wire guide and over the hub axle. It's tight but it all works.
Chapman Cycles: Integrated Lezyne high volume pump. Check. Clearance for 2.35" tires. Check. Putting on fenders and 48mm Compass tires now... #650bnot275 #chapmancycles
Chapman Cycles: Removing paint is more fun than painting! Facing the #t47 bottom bracket shell before treating the insides of the tubes, polishing, and running the taillight wire. Almost done with this one as well! #chapmancycles
Chapman Cycles: This is not something I normally do. Actually, ever do. Paragon flat mount disc brake drop out with 12mm thru-axle. Doing my best to make it look not weird. #flatmountdisc #paragonmachineworks #chapmancycles
