Tamarack Cycles

Some more progress on Tony’s new adventure-road Tamarack frameset. After completing the main triangle, I fillet-brazed a seatpost binder to the seat cluster. Next, I brazed the chainstays to the Rodeo Labs’ “Lockjaw 2” sliding UDH dropouts, then fitted the chainstays to the front triangle. Next, I added a subtle bend to the double-taper seatstays and brazed them to the frame, now it’s starting to look like a bike frame! After some clean-up, I cut and drilled the seatpost binder slot and sculpted the top of the seat tube. Tomorrow, brake bridges and braze-ons - almost finished!

Some progress on Mark’s new all-roads Tamarack frameset. This one’s built with Columbus Spirit tubing, for 57-reach sidepulls allowing tires of 700x35 or 700x38. Mark selected Richard Sachs’ “Nuovo Richie” lugs with a few modifications; I removed the forward tangs, and shortened the lug points to suit the 51cm geometry’s head tube length. The main triangle’s done now, on to the rear triangle next. Coming along nicely, I think.

I just added the build photos of David's 853 Pro Team frame build to my photo gallery, if you're interested - lots and lots of process pics.

David's Tamarack 853 Pro Team David's custom Reynolds 853 Pro Team Disc frame's build. David wanted an all-roads geometry capable of fitting tires from 700x32 to 700x8, without fender mounts in the fork and frame. He requested a stainless steel sleeve for the front derailleur mount area so that changing the size of the outer cha...
