First day out on the 1993 Ketelaar sales machine. Built from a Reynolds 'Designer Select' selection of 531 tubes, the main frame tubes were round-oval-round. This was the first bike with a straight fork to be seen in my home town. The frame was destroyed in the 'furniture truck incident' of July 1995. The Sachs New Success group survived the crash and I still ride it today. #soyouthful

Parts in this week from Frame Builder Supply, Paris-Brest fork crowns and some summary small frame fittings. Also received shipments from two other suppliers, to build my stock holding.

Well finally my frame building web site 'ketelaar.com.au' is up and working, also running in parallel is 'ketelaarframeworks.com'. More content will be added to the site in coming days. Something I could not live without my key email address paulk@ketelaar.com.au is also now working. It has taken 5.5 days to resolve all the issues. So a word of advice do not use WIX to host your business website if your domain name is hosted somewhere else. #feckwix and #fecknetregistry

Fast Tourer build is just about to kickoff, stay tuned for more details as a start is made and progress is shared for all to keep a track of.
