Save Your Pennies

Wookie · February 16th, 2019, 2:32 PM

Something many of you have been waiting for is coming soon. Start saving😊

Retro Dude · February 16th, 2019, 9:02 PM

Any hints? TI Fat maybe? That's what I'm looking for.

Wookie · February 17th, 2019, 7:19 PM

Sorry, it's not my place to say. I did speak with Chris via email, and he is working on something special. Unfortunately, the timing is a bit off for me. This is why I made this post. If you are getting ready to pull the trigger on something, just wait a bit. You'll be glad you did.

Retro Dude · February 23rd, 2019, 2:04 PM

I talked to Chris last week, keep an eye on NAHBS coverage, and start saving as Wookie said.

Wookie · March 16th, 2019, 3:00 PM

Ti Yo

SMR · March 16th, 2019, 5:27 PM

Whoa. Can’t wait to see those welded together.

Stingercut · March 16th, 2019, 7:18 PM

Me neither. It could be the last bike you ever need

DocChill · March 17th, 2019, 7:42 AM

TiYoEddy... fantastic...

May have to go out there and do some pre-shipment "inspection"

Hope they go well

If you start putting your stamp on the hang tags again, I just dont know what would happen

I Double dare you : )

Interesting - I heard from a few frame builders who use Ti that the supply of good quality Ti is getting harder to source.

I might have an answer in about SEVEN days

Retro Dude · April 25th, 2019, 12:25 PM

Hmm, working for a spinoff of a spinoff? Sounds sweet if the perks are good!

That would be so cool, Scott.

Stingercut · April 25th, 2019, 9:24 PM

No way !!!

I-ROBOT · April 29th, 2019, 8:56 PM

I have second interview and weld test tomorrow at Seven.
Wish me luck.
Scott

newsboy · April 30th, 2019, 4:22 AM

good luck! and say hi to tim d.

Stingercut · April 30th, 2019, 4:33 AM

Good luck Scott, although I doubt you will need it ! Good to hear you are back welding bikes again

I-ROBOT · May 3rd, 2019, 4:54 PM

I was informed that Seven is hiring someone else for their welder position. It was good to see Tim Delaney and Lloyd Graves again though. Was also good to know that I can still weld titanium after all these years and deteriorating eyes!

Oh well, the commute was going to suck anyway. (yeah I know, sour grapes)

Have to get a real job again

Scott

Stingercut · May 3rd, 2019, 6:17 PM

Even on a bad day your ‘first pass’ welds would be a sight to behold. Scrutinized so many bike welds ( its an obsession

) over the years but nobody ever did neater, finer perfect coin stacks than you. I have shown your 94 Ti to plenty of serious bike guys and after some thorough fondling around the seat tube they all agree, you ARE the MASTER

I-ROBOT · May 6th, 2019, 8:29 PM

I appreciate the nice words as always. The crew at Seven does a fine job too. Their craftsmanship is very impressive. I think they knew right away that the commute was going to be a big issue for me. We never even got to the point of talking about money.

I thanked them for the opportunity of course.

Hopefully spring weather will finally show up here.

Regards
Scott

Wookie · June 1st, 2019, 4:51 PM

I'll just leave this here.

Retro Dude · June 1st, 2019, 7:05 PM

Very nice

I think it will be Chris' own bike, or? I hit on it, because he's selling his Titanium MK3...
