Built a couple forks today. Things are cooking in the shop right now! Hope to make some progress on the racks that go with these this week. #dropout #brazing #fire #fork #bicyclebuilding #chapmancycles

Counterexciting! I always use a recessed stainless bolt and eyebolt (daruma) to hold the front fender to the crown. I now recess the rear of the crown and tap the front. It’s clean and reliable. #counterboring #righttoolforthejob #chapmancycles

Top eyes/seat stay caps in place
Chapman Cycles:
Seat stays are on, bridges are on, braze-ons are on, and the finish work is in progress. So close to being done! But then I remember I have to build racks... #onandon #bicyclebuilding #silverbrazing #lug #seatcluster #chapmancycles

Missing my photo bombing pup. This was the last photo of Polly in the shop this past Thursday. The shop is a lot quieter since her passing. I’m told it gets easier. #shopdog #restinpeace #tinybordercollie

It’s a shame that I have to scuff most of this up. Frameset and racks just got back from the plater. I’ll be painting this one next week. This was much harder to photograph in the shop than I expected. #nickelplated #bicyclebuilding #shiny #chapmancycles

Trying to capture the matching paint transitions on the seat stay and pump. Blue with gold details always seems to work well. Still gathering parts for this one while the next one is well underway! #bicyclepainting #nickelplated #lezyne #chapmancycles

Getting the most toe clearance with the fender stay. Fender is drilled and low profile hardware is on the inside. This can create other issues with mud and snow but there’s good clearance over the tire on this one. #fender #lowprofile #650b #chapmancycles
