Tool Time,,,,

So y'all know we moved ? Well the new shop is a big step up for us and finally a space where we can hit the work we have rolling in. One thing was lacking though, the old tool setup was woefull, we had tools spilling out of everywhere in the old shop and needed some order.

In steps Tony Kriz, my friend from Denver and the reason I now have a Shovel!

He hooked me up with these monsters, no shit the big one weighs 1/4 of a tonne and rolls on six big ass sprung wheels :)

Anyway,, thanks Tony, too cool Bud............

Moving Day .....

Well in fact it's been a week of upheaval as the old shop needed packing up, meanwhile the new shop had to be negotiated and some how the keys got hold of. Normally takes six weeks but we drove it through in ten days.

However now the actual move! First load went in yesterday and hopefully we will break the back of it this weekend, but actually setting up is a different matter. There's no electric , and I mean none, no board nothing! No water no lights (obviously) .. Nothing!!

I hope we are back up and running by the end of next week. In which case we will have done it quicker than last time.

Here's a few pix:

Here's a promise

Yeah I know,, it's been ages,, PLUS I know most posts start out saying that and saying its gonna change :(

Well it is, this time ,,, this time I am going to get to posting a lot up here, not just what we are doing but of the whole scene we are wrapped up in...

So the update here is simple really, we are rammed in the shop! Trying to tie in with some fabricators who are the best in the world at pipe work, so our frames, pipes & bars are second to none.

Just about keeping up with parts orders but bike builds are suffering because, now I've seen the quality of what we can achieve I want it on everything!

We are on the cover of this months American V with a lot of features inside & we've just done the cover shoot for 100% Biker.

Hopefully in the next few weeks we will be moving to much larger premises, if we do ill post up here and there will be an open day in June which ya gotta come to !

American V shoot

Another quick post,, sorry for sporadic updates, really will get a fair few sorted over the next couple of weeks as there is just so much going on...

Anyway, yesterday at Epsom race course we shot the Am V cover for the next issue. Wade from Suckboyz in his 79 Shovel and of course our 79 Shovel.

Had a absolute riot with all the guys that showed up and the weather just could not have been better. All in all it was a memorable day....

Loads more comin up .....

LICCS Ally Pally

Great to meet up with so many people today, it was one of the best days we've had at a show & the Shovel went down well.

My problem right now is I need to shoot the bike properly as the iPhone is simply not getting it, so at the moment all I can post is the paint. This was laid down as usual by 8 Ball and I honestly can not get over how good it is !

I'll get proper pix done soon and post up, 2mo is the final day and we will be there all day, so drop and have a chat. Meantime one crappy pic:

Well, three days it took! But the pipe is done now for the Shovel & this "quick makeover" build is turning into an epic!

This time next week it has to be on the AMD stand at Ally Pally and right now I have no wheels, no paint, no loom, no headlight, no spacers or adjusters,, the forks need lowering 3" & the frame is still getting cut,,,,,

Errrmmmm,,, see you there !!!!!!!
