Finally got around to taking some pics of my bike.
Any of you, and I know some of you are, looking for a custom built frame, i highly recommend Steve over at Coconino Cycles. Great guy to work with and the quality of his work and attention to detail is amazing. Put down my deposit in Feb of last year and took delivery in late Nov. Was done a few weeks ahead of schedule and would have been to me even sooner, but Steve left for a long vacation just as he completed the frame and sent it off to the painters.


Start off from when it was just some tubes and the initial welds

Gorgeous -- I love the line formed by the top tube and seat stays.

Slight hijack -- where did you get the stand?

I also really like the lines on that frame.

I'm no metalsmith, but are those welds brazed?
