I had the pleasure of playing with Shane Blackmore in the T-Town Terrors team at the Taupo Tap-Out last year.  In a year when a lot of people seem to be moving towards custom polo frames, Shane has built his own bike in his back shed in Taupo, New Zealand.  The only thing he didn’t build was the wheels.  This is his first frame build and I think it looks amazing.  Shane already has more ideas and will be starting another one next week.  Here are some photos of his progressive build.
