		<title>Silver Paste part III</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just in case you readers have been asleep at the wheel, I&#8217;ve been adding some sort of Native American style silver and turquoise adornments to my frames.

		<title>Silver Paste part II</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here&#8217;s another application for the paste silver. This is a new frame using the spigot style drop outs from Nova Cycle Supply (www.novacycles.com).  I  dabbed  about a 3/4&#8243; line of material inside the dropout then spread it  around evenly, stuck the chain stay in, added some extra flux on the outside in case I didn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>Silver Paste</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Fortunately I have been very busy since August with  car restoration work. I received some of Fred Parr&#8217;s much touted paste based silver about that time and I was anxious to try it for myself after seeing the pictures that Dave Bohm posted about his first run with the product.

		<description><![CDATA[Nearly 20 years ago I built this tandem as an experiment. It was made from Columbus MAX road bike sets and a generic oval boom tube. Here&#8217;s a picture of it&#8217;s current dirty-dusty state, in the equally dirty-dusty crowded frame building corner of the shop.   (Click/double click on photos to enlarge) As you can see, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Customers bikes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The stimulus money still has not arrived in my corner of the world and thought I&#8217;d scan some photos into the computer just for grins. For a long time I carefully documented each frame-bike and the customer&#8217;s info, then for a long time I quit documenting as the retail end of the business consumed huge [...]]]></description>

		<title>Retro Bicycle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was inspired by the Classic Rendezvous mail list to reassemble an old 70&#8242;s  531 frame that I rode for many years and always kept it around because of all the good and bad times we&#8217;d spent together. So here is today&#8217;s starting point. (click to enlarge fotos) This old show case from the bike [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Gentlemen, Here is the problem.. click on foto to enlarge With the laminated gaskets the copper layers are quite thin. Probably .003-.004&#8243; so what happens is that the very hot, I call them kernels of gas, begin to burn through the thin layer of copper and before too long, a year with daily driving, the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Columbus Spirit Frame for sale. $650.00 plus shipping-US only. I built this frame for myself as a trial for shallow head tube design for a very light &#60;4lb frame for unloaded long distance touring.
