здравствуйте (hello!)

My name is Jack (fig. 1) and I'm super velo (as in, I enjoy velociraptors) but more importantly a Geoduck (an Evergreen State college student). In an independent student contract (an example of project based learning; where students work with professors and create their own class) I will be building a bicycle this academic quarter and will be documenting the process throughout. I will be using the Paterek Manual, 3.0, by Tim Paterek and experienced Olympia locals as reference. The frame will be steel, a 48 cm fixed gear made by TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding.

If you're interested stay up - I will be updating this blog biweekly for the next 9 weeks.

прощание. Wish me luck!
