I am taking on a restoration project of this Richard Sachs frameset. |
Here is a carbon wheelset I built this week. Its specifications are as follows: ENVE 2.45/Chris King R45s/Sapim CX-Rays/Vittoria EVO CX 25mm tubulars. |
In all honesty, I do not like to glue tires. |
Note the precision machined cassette body and the slotted non-drive side flange on the Chris King R45 hubset. |
I still prefer to lace front wheel in a cross pattern. |
This is a staggered wheelset I built this week. Its specifications are the following: ENVE 45/65 Clincher rims/Alchemy ELF-ORC hubset/Sapim CX-Ray spokes. |

One day I will be happy with my product shots. I feel that day is a long way off but I will keep trying. Maybe I try too hard? I don't know. |
I can appreciate the low profile design of the Alchemy hubs. |
This wheel came in as a repair. I gladly accept repair work. |
Once that repair is complete, I will focus on this new custom, carbon, wheel build. Bagshaw Corporation. |
Aaron was admiring my new Foresta and noted the adjustable stainless steel cable stops. |
He took one. Went downstairs, and made me 500 identical units by lunch. |
I am experimenting with this new CaffeLatex sealant. |
Here is that next wheelset completed. Its specifications are as follows: ENVE 1.65s/Alchemy ELF-ORCs/Sapim CX-Rays/Continental Competition 22s |
Silver hubs and black spokes is a unique look. I find it very industrial-esque. |
I am just burning through these decals. I'm already into the 6 thousands. |
At this point Continental are my most favorite tire. |
I rode on Continental tires in the Giro D'Italia but they were clinchers and not as nice as these tubulars. |
Here is the finished product. |
It is going to be a lot of work setting this place up but so much of the hard work was done for me thanks to the building's maintenance engineer. |
This is a high quality, handmade, steel road frame from Foresta. I will show more of it in the coming blog posts. |
