Check out this trick video of Sean Walling from Soulcraft building a custom frame. Beautifully filmed and edited, with a very nice result at the end.
FROM STEEL: The Making of a Soulcraft from michael evans on Vimeo.
I dunno about wherever the rest of you are, but down here in Hobart it’s absolutely shitting down. With the Spring Classics happening (or happened) and the paths and roads swiftly filling with mud it only seems fitting to throw the knobby tyres back on the ‘cross bike after its summer romance with the slicks. While the high-stacked excuses of grocery shopping, a blocked nose, absolute driving rain and darkness are doing a fair job of keeping me off the bike tonight, I’m swearing that the rest of Autumn and Winter won’t see it continue. Mud’s for riding in, and if it ain’t muddy for the next few weeks I’ll be a surprised (and dry) man. So throw on some merino, grit your teeth and get amongst it. And if you spot a slow moving brown mess somewhere out there, be sure to offer me a cup of hot chocolate or a pint of something delicious.
And is anyone organising a cyclocross series in Southern Tasmania yet?
Yes. Halleuyah! Steel.
Steel is for people who can’t afford Titanium 🙂
Though I must admit, my Ti HT has been put away for the winter & I’ll be rocking the steel one.
Very cool video, though it does make the process look deceptively simple and easy.
