Cut, Tack, Weld.

Kaiko continues her journey towards owning her very own IndyFab Crown Jewel.  As the day of ownership draws closer, the folks at IF keep teasing her with shots of her baby being assembled (Thanks to Tyler Evans for the photos):

NYC is a big city with lots of shops and cool peeps, but when you’re ordering an IF, it pays to be a Boston local.

Having met Tyler of the IF crew over a year ago, I emailed Tyler about whether I could drop by to see my frame in production. If he was okay with it, I imagined this would consist of a phone call, then dropping by the IF workshop, and taking pictures with my admittedly not-so-great digital camera of an unpainted-yet-otherwise-complete frame. Tyler, because he is awesome, was down for letting me know when the frame might be ready. But then he did something even cooler: he took pictures of my bike tubes as soon as they were cut.

A few days later, I got another set of pictures of those tubes being tacked, and an email that it was now officially in the welding department. Did I want to come by?

Oh yes, yes I did.
