Well, winter project 1, my second frame, a sloping top tubed lugged 650b commuter/path bomber is getting picked up from the painters tomorrow AM and should be built for a ride on Sunday, so that's nearly done. Looking forward to trying SRAM (Apex) for the first time.
I have 20BF of red oak waiting to be turned into a hall table for my wife, and a PegoRichie tubeset, slant six lugset, and bag of dropouts and brazeons waiting to be turned into frame 3. I'll be lucky if I get these done by summer.
