Dad's Bike

 

Well, it just so happens that my father rides bicycles also.   Many years ago, he helped me get into the sport.  Now I am building him a frame.  Here are some photos of the work-in-progress.  Tubing is True Temper Verus HT, lugs are Henry James.   I just took it for a shakedown ride yesterday, and it rides great!  Stiff in the sprints, smooth over bumps, and responsive as anything I've ridden yet.  Dad and I are both very pleased.  Who says steel isn't a contender?!
