Kids, cross pics, forks, etc
Guys, thanks for the kind words re: our frames and welds. It's fun work and I get to meet some really cool people. Our forks are spendy, mostly because they take a lot of time to build (believe it or not, nearly as much time as a frame). I second your advice on checking out Kirk Frameworks. Dave's a good guy, a great friend, and a very talented framebuilder.
This is my wife and my first baby as well; it is the coolest thing I've ever done. He was just big enough to ride in our trailer at the end of last season so we scrambled to get in as many road rides with him as we could. He really seemed to enjoy the scenery and it always lulled him to sleep. This season he'll be big enough for lots of road and some off road riding too. I can't wait!
Thanks for posting the pics, I'm going with the FSA cranks as well. BTW, That's sporting of Dad to compromise with the Ultegra parts! That kid is well outfitted.
