Shimano BR-MC70 cantilevers getting polished up. The build goes on. #shimanodeerhead #shimanoxt #cantileverbrakes #chapmancycles
Chapman Cycles:
The speed of the build is sometimes determined by whether or not the components need modifications. This headset needed a little bit of love before getting installed. #knurled #headset #cablehanger #chapmancycles

Mixing base coat for the current frameset in the paint booth. This is right after the reducer is added. #ppg #deltron #metallicpaint #itsalive #champagne #dontdrinkit #chapmancycles

Chapman Cycles:
The rear rack is attached directly to the cantilever brake posts for a rigid system. That little bent stud is a tricky one to miter. It’s a lot of back and forth between the rack and filing in the vise. #bicyclerack #chromoly #magnetshowdotheywork
