Bike Birth - Devin's custom Engin 'cross

Thursday night was a momentus occasion - the birth of Devin's new custom Engin cyclocross bike. Classic beauty was built with random inputs and oddball discussion in my living room with Craig, Shawn, Devin and I bantering all night with tunes on, tools in hand, and a few brews. Fun stuff that yielded a fantastic racing machine.

Cyclocross bikes deserve the attention to detail and euro flare that a few import beers bring to the project.  Devin and self proclaimed "bike nerd" bring oversized lungs and attention to detail to the project.  Note the beers were purchased by actual Belgians, which I'm positive instills some additional karma.

After a few hours, the Engin is together.

A poor photo of the Engin, but a good photo of the team that had a few laughs that night. Note an Ibis awaiting a few extra parts in the foreground for bike build party round 2.




Sweetness on two wheels!
