This is my version of a block bought from Dave Bohm when I first started making frames. I’m still using the original in Seattle, but when I started working in my friend’s shops in Europe I was surprised to find nobody had one. I called Dave to order, and he laughed and told me he hadn’t made them in years! And that if I wanted one, I should just make it! #sopwamtos

The two different sizes of “V”s allow grabbing the smallest seat stays up to the mightiest chainstays or fork blades. You can also use them for odd ball bi-oval tubes or even round ones!

So here it is! Lovingly made in Seattle of hard maple. I can ship these either from Seattle, or Europe so make sure you pick the one that makes the most sense for your location.
