Scott Quiring has finished the 29ers. Tubing was worked, welded, finished, primed and painted to perfection. In less time than brewing a batch of any flavor of BELLS BREWERY beers, Scott has produced 2 Titanium 29er frames, 1 steel 29er frame and 1 Titanium road frame. Joey B.'s Scandium 26" wheeled bike will be done soon. Notice the Inspiration for the paint scheme in the last picture !

Construction cones ?


Sunny days? Not in Michigan Posted by Picasa

1st week of January base miles continue.



Another beautiful sunless morning in Michigan. We broke out the Adidas rain coats for this Sunday morning ride. Morning temps in the mid 30's and a high of 40. Add in the light dusting of snow from the night before and the roads where wet and slippery. We headed out on the dirt roads for about 1.5 hours. After Joey B. hit the deck hard from the icy roads (he ended up breaking 2 fingers) we switched it up to the pavement. Joe headed to the ER, Mike and Jason finished up the 5hrs of riding. Get well soon Joey BREWCHAMPSKI.
