Currently, my blog is mainly focused on bike builds...namely my own.
The basement is filling up with bikes, and space in my downstairs "wreck room" is getting ever scarcer. I could put another bike up against the wall in my garage, but a one-car garage with a car and other miscellanous junk doesn't leave a whole lot of room for extra bike stuff.
What the heck do I write about if I'm not building a bike?
Patrick to the rescue! I received three nice pictures of Patrick's new ride. And boy, is it ever a ride! He's just acquired himself a new Rivendell Bombadil frame and it's a beaut!

Such a nice frame, and the double top tube is certainly unique. On this table, I can see a nice honey brown Brooks saddle, assorted Nitto bike jewelry including bars, stem, and seatpost, what appears to be a Sugino crank, Schwalbe tires, a nice orange Rivendell cap, and some other assorted bits and pieces. It looks like it's all ready for assembly. Do I see Phil Wood hubs on 36 spoke wheels? Phil Wood bottom bracket as well?
A nice sideways headtube shot, showing the headbadge, lugwork, and unique powder clear coat finish. I'm not sure, but is that a Chris King headset? This bike will definitely turn heads.
A nice headbadge shot, including a few nice bits Patrick's acquired for his build. Schwalbe Marathons? Ja sind sie schwer und stark aber gut! Good choice!
I'm expecting more pics as the build progesses!
