Yesterday we started preparing the tandem for a trip to Italy. We made a new lighter front rack and added elevated cable stops for cable splitters. Building a rack is so easy when you sketch it out in cad first and print a drawing! I had no idea! 😅

I had the regular first gen Langster, first new bike I ever bought. I always wanted to get the S-Works model, but they were rare and expensive. Then, while working in France in 2013, I found one in a Cherbourg bike shop. I think it was a customer's bike, but I managed to buy it for ~700€ haggling over a Yahoo translator. My credit card was already maxed, but I returned the next day with cash. I suppose the frame is a tad small, but who cares. Third picture the day I bought it.

In 2013 someone posted an eBay link to our fixedgear forum with $99 track frames. I was laying in a hotel bed in Sweden and assessed the size to be right (no geometry in the information) and ordered a one. It turned out be pretty ok! I sold it a few years later, but just last year my friend saw it in his appartment block's bicycle storage - still being ridden.

Our official wedding portrait by @fjontos . The lettering in this amazing piece of art is embossed to the paper with a letter press. Artcore natural born intelligence ftw.
Lovely winter weather to get on the sea ice for photographs.
My grown-up bike Pelago Stavanger with bibs and bobs from MKS, Nitto, Sim Works, King,Thomson, Supernova etc.
Still missing some important details like the handlebar endcaps (don't want to get core-sampled) and the Pelago badge.

You know your friends are growing up when they ask you to weld brake mounts on their fixedgear frame. This frame I made @dras_____ many many many years ago. It is so rusted from winter riding I'll probably have to blast it with alumium oxide. The studs are threaded if he ever wants to be rad again.

First ride on the new @pelagobicycles Stavanger. This was an unpainted frame I modified with a pressfit BB. I had some trouble getting my chain stay on the rear cog so I just threw in what gear parts I happened to have in the bin - 10s Shimano. The paint is the same silver pearl our Audi TT '99 is painted with.
Still have to install a rear light and brush in some decals. I haven't decided on the decaleur for a front bag but I might just make a one-off bullmoose with everything integrated. The front rack is 8mm stainless.

I love building bike for @dras_____ three reasons: He rides the bikes, paints the bikes and doesn't cheap out on the components 😄 You'll be soon able see this bike live around Osaka and Shikoku.
