The steering damper I adapted from a Honda CRF in action. It's intended purpose does not 100% translate die MTBs, but just for shits and giggles I wanted to try it out anyways.

This is what I would call a "dream build". A mix of old and new, standard and custom, high end and entry level.
I don't mind combining a 15 year old XTR crank with a custom frame, brakes that have been on 5 bikes before, a Deore chain and high end suspension.
@tomkeridesbikes hard at work putting her new park bike together.
Some better pictures coming some time soon-ish

So this is the paint job I ended up with. It's always a bit of a mystery how it turns out, but from the start I knew it will be out there. Just like my own park bike.

It's another wild one, but that's what she ordered and I think it's a perfect fit for a bike that's built to go wild.

Here it is: the "MauseR" single speed DH/Park frame for @tomkeridesbikes
Now it's on to painting aka throwing rattlecans at it until it looks ridiculous.

All pivot hardware tonight. Just missing a couple of spacers, but that's a task for tomorrow.
My lathe really needs a rebuild, so I am mostly relying on modified pivot hardware from my day job.

The last weld bead. For some reason this exact location always comes out the best.
Now on to pivot hardware...

Cable go in, cable come out. I designed these inserts that use a cable routing solution that I designed during my equally exciting day job.
