Thanks! Here's the impetus…it started a couple of months ago when the guys at the bike shop where I volunteer suggested I use this unique Patterson Transmission for my next build. But I didn't have a frame worthy until I saw the Micargi frame…they look like they were made for each other! The...

I've spent the last few weeks trying to put the idea in head down on paper. Here's an early version of the direction I'd like to pursue. My inspiration

Bean thanks for the heads up. I thought that might be a problem…I had plan on shortening the wheelbase.

Started stripping the color off.

Me too! ;)

Yeah I'm in, but with contingencies! I promised the wife I would do several things around the house. So this year her honey-do list takes priority. But I’m thinking I can squeeze in one or two hours a day to work on FENIX? We’ll see? Happy Wife = Happy Life. I've been looking at this frame...
