Thanks!!!

Have this pre-war Elgin frame that the top tube was cut out of. I wanted to try my hand at brazing so I rolled a new tube and welded it in. I made cable guides our old jockey wheel bushings from broken derailleurs and put some canti bosses on the back. Custom seat post was made from some 4130...

Rules are simple: 30 second down time and you're out. No switching bikes or jumping in late because you were afwaid. Last three reset for foot down.

Thanks!

I quick release torsion arm!

Some pics from the first heat. It was hot of course and the whole loop was exposed to the sun. There was a hike-a-bike section from the start and it was pretty long. Previous abnormal rains made all the trails over grown and rutted so it was a hard slog, about 1/2 to 2/3rds dnf'd Enjoy!
