Path racer for St. Petersburg, Fla.

 Nearly every part of this bike was made in the USA, from the Thomson cockpit to the White ind. drive train. The final edition has a black Brooks cambium saddle and a White ind. freewheel.The rims are Hed belgium C2 and the bike is fitted with a King headset. The gearing is 40-17, a favorite for SSCX bikes. This bike is absolutely silent rolling down the road.

Schnoz for the UK.

 This is a sensible build- Shimano 5800 group with CX-77 mechanical disc brakes.

 The rims are Hed Belgium+ which mate up well with Bruce's 700x43 tires. This one also has a Brooks B-17.......not a bad choice for value in a real leather saddle. I have not test ridden this one yet-that will have to wait until tomorrow. After that it will be boxed up and begin its long journey east.

Visit to Bruce Gordon's shop

 First order if business was to pick up the two most recent Schnozolas- # 6 & 7 from paint. There were some build parts as well. Bruce and I are still collaborating on the Schnozola bikes as long as people want them. They will be pretty rare .......

 Here's a 2005 Bruce Gordon road bike in my size. Wish I had the money-it is stunning.

 This table is supported by about a dozen dead bicycle frames. Not a bad idea unless you are a Bridgestone devotee.

 Here's a view of the work shop with a table covered in tooling.

Bruce in his office  totaling up the daily receipts. We had a nice visit and a great lunch. Now I'll be able to finish off the assembly of the two Schnozolas and get them out the door in the next couple of weeks.
