What a treat! It just makes you want to make your own. Do you do your hand quilting in a hoop or just on your lap?

In response to Avon's question about how I do my quilting... I use a big floor frame - one of those PVC pipe types. I love it because 1) the surface is flat and parallel to the floor (perfect for stab stitchers!), 2) I have a 2 x 3.5 foot area that I can quilt in before having to move the quilt in the frame, 3) it is lightweight and fits through doors - and in the back of my Tahoe, 4) I can easily turn the frame to quilt in another direction, 5) because it's rectangular and not oval or round, there's no distorting of the quilt across a diagonal - so every single quilt I've ever made in it has come out of it flatter than a pancake. Now that's cool!

What is your favorite way to baste for hand quilting? I remember watching you quilt your Rodeo quilt a long time ago, but I cannot for the life of me remember the basting...
Thank you again for all of the great designs and inspiration!
- January 3, 2011 at 6:31 AM
- Sue Garman said...
Maura asked what my favorite method of basting is. I love using Glue-Baste-It. It comes in two sizes - large and small - and I only like the small little bottles. The trick to glue-basting is to use the tiniest and fewest dots of glue that you can get away with - 2-3 spots will generally hold a piece in place unless it is very large. the spots should be only slightly larger than the period at the end of this sentence. If you make it larger, you will get hard spots or bleed-through dark spots on the top of your fabric. As I applique, I "pop" the glued spot loose so that there is not a dimple in the middle of the applique, where the fabric is held tight against the background it sits on.

It was a pleasure to see your quilts and home on The Quilt Show. I was particularly taken by the quilt that you have hanging behind the couch in your family room. Would you share the information on that pattern? It makes me smile...Thank you for all of the inspiration that I receive from seeing your quilts!

In answer to Marge's question, the quilt she saw on The Quilt Show's "tour of Sue Garman's home" was an old block-of-the-month that I designed several years ago. It is called "All Around the Town." It is available from Quakertown Quilts (www.quakertownquilts.com - click on Blocks of the Month... then Susan Garman... then All Around the Town) and other local quilt shops. It's a fun quilt to make!
For those who have not seen it yet, you can get a "tour" of my home by going to http://secure.smilebox.com/ecom/openTheBox?sendevent=4d6a49774d7a67354e44553d0d0a&blogview=true&campaign=blog_playback_link&playAgain=true. You'll have to cut and paste all of those letters and numbers to get there!

Sue the Friends of Baltimore is so beautiful. I love your style and it is by far my favorite Baltimore quilt. Since I am a younger quilter and have only admired these on the computer, what type of backing do you use? Is it a print or subtle? Or does it matter? Are there particular recommendations in selecting a fabric? I am going to start the quilt with the BOM from quakertown quilts. Will you have a yahoo group?
Thank you for all your wonderful quilts and pictures.
- January 16, 2011 at 5:28 PM
- Sue Garman said...
In response to Caroline's inquiry...
-- what type of backing do I use? I chose to use a busy print -- only because I am quilting it by hand and using thread that matches whatever it is I am quilting. I did not want all of the color changes to be distracting, so I chose the busy print. If I were using ONLY white thread to quilt it, I would have used a white backing. Really - it's up to you, but I always take into consideration the color of the quilting thread that will be used.
-- Other considerations for backing fabric? If you are using a 100% poly batting, the color of the backing fabric may "bleed" through (visually) so you have to consider than when choosing a backing fabric.
-- IF you mean what type of background fabric (versus backing fabric that actually goes on the back of the quilt), it's really up to you what you like or don't like. I chose a sturdy, robust fabric that will stand up to the weight of the layers of applique. I also chose a white, versus a print, just because I wanted high contrast to the rich colors of the applique. If you want to soften the look a bit, choose a subtle print or an off-white background fabric. Choose what you really LIKE because you will be seeing a lot of it in this quilt!
-- Will I be starting a Yahoo group? I have thought about it, but it takes a lot of oversight to run such a group... (because I don't allow random postings - had one too many creepy, inappropriate postings show up!), and there are several other Baltimore/applique Yahoo groups online which offer lots of support to Baltimore fans.

Well, Just finished placing my order for your Baltimore BOM with freezer paper! Brilliant!! Save me soooooo much work, what a great idea! I did go to Hancocks of P. as you suggested to order the Kona Solid, I chose snow. Can't wait to get started, there are so few really nice applique BOM's out there to choose from, and hardly any Baltimore Album BOMs, thank you for filling a need!
One question I like the "Borrowed Roses Quilt" you are working on for the raffle, will that be a kit or BOM later on?
- January 22, 2011 at 9:26 AM
- Sue Garman said...
In response to Sue's question, Borrowed Roses will be a single pattern, not a block-of-the-month. I have already started working on it -- the basting of all of the blocks is done, and I have completed one block and one border unit. I'll post photos at the first of the month. This is such a fun quilt to make because the blocs are so big that it is easy to applique all of the pieces!

The show will go on at the Washington Avenue Armory. Leaders there struck a deal with the city to resume hosting dance parties provided they adhere to strict safety guidelines. But how long will the party last? YNN's Solomon Syed reports.
ALBANY, N.Y. -- Music, dancing and foam: The ingredients for what the Washington Avenue Armory calls a concert.
"People come here for one reason and that's to see the acts and enjoy the music," said Armory spokesman Michael Cors.
It's important distinction, if the Armory plans to keep hosting DJ shows that attract thousands, but have also caused big headaches for the city.
"We have decided to reach an agreement so that the city can put parameters on the operation of the Armory," said Albany Buildings and Regulatory Compliance Director Jeffery Jamison.
The strict guidelines include a midnight curfew during the week and 1 a.m. on the weekends.
The dance floor will be limited to 2,100 people, with a city-approved security team on patrol. Alcohol will also be confined to a small section of the arena. However, some say the problem with party-goers extends beyond the gate.
"Vandalism, petty crimes, loud noise," said Richard Conti, common councilor for the city's 6th ward.
"The Armory stepped up and said let's fix this, let's enhance downtown and not damage it," said Corts.
The question the city wants an answer to: Is the Armory a concert hall, or just one big giant night club?
"It may be that what's happening now is permitted, but there's a line and that may push it," said Jamison.
The Armory still has to appear before the board of zoning appeals and prove the dance parties qualify as concerts. Otherwise, Friday's "Masquerave" will be the venue's first dance party since the October melee that injured three police officers, and its last.
"With sounds and lights and stages and rigors and people coming in and loading in, it's absolutely a concert event," said Corts.
The zoning hearing will take place sometime in January and will be open to the public.

Available Projects
First winter in my new home. The roof is fairly new but the chimney has some issues. The leak was trickling down the side of the fireplace inside the house, onto the floor. (Through the attic) Some of the drywall/ ceiling was moldy and removed, will be replacing that soon.
Better yet, to the source of the problem. I may hire a buddy but if I can ATTEMPT atleast to fix this myself that would be great. My visual inspection photos are attached... I'd assume to use some time of water proof roofing sealer around these cracked areas. It may be worse under the shingles but I can't currently get under there (This roof is an overlay). Any affordable suggestions to get me by for a while?
Appreciations in advance....!!!!
Photo of the top
Lower/ front on the sloped draining side. The dark looking holes I think are because it's a roof layover, so it's raised a bit making those sections look like major drainage areas, which they very well could be... not sure.This message has been edited. Last edited by: phil1979yes,
Your quick and dirty fix will be to get a can of roof sealant and cover over all those open gaps around the base of the chimney.
It looks like there is flashing on the brick (that tan stuff). If so, that flashing should overlap step flashing that is woven in the shingle overlap pattern and tucks up under the brick side flashing. If the step flashing is missing or not installed correctly, that could be the source of your leak.
Once you have warm (and dry) weather you can remove much of the sealant that is there and see what's going on.
What you need to do is not hard or expensive. It will insure no leaks. It's not the best way to do it, but it will keep you from having to pull up some roofing. If your interested I will post it, it's a lot of info and I don't want to go through it if your not coming back.?
Yeah please post!
I'm not new hear my old account wasn't working
It had been a while so maybe it was lost...
Who knows.
Please share though
How did you post your pictures.?
On the lower left of the message box where you type it says add attachment, that was it. It seems can only do one at a time..This message has been edited. Last edited by: phil1979yes,
photo looks like missing flashing on the sides. you also have issues with the masonry cap atop the chimney up to the clay flue.
a tube of black goo on each side of the chimney only buys you time to get that flashing replaced, might require a few new shingles. since the masonry cap is deteriorating as well as cracked, it should probably be removed and replaced. that's a minor issue now compared to the flashing, but both should be fixed.
sig: if this is a new economy, how come they still want my old-fashioned money?
Maybe it is just the appearence in the first set of photographs but it appears that it was done incorrectly to begin with. The flashing should not run under the roofing material. The intention of the flashing is to divert the water coming down the chimney sides to the top of the roofing material not underneath it allowing it to make it way to the gutter or eve edge and drop.
The flashing should also be one piece from the chimey to the roof. There is exception for using a two piece but the lower section needs to be tucked under the chimney flashing and then roll out onto the top of the roofing material The way it looks is that they used one piece for the chimney and then joined the second piece to the first on the outside rather than inside.
The area from the back of the chimey toward the ridge is crucial in that it needs to have a cricket constructed.
I never seen a site where you can only post one picture at a time. Okay, grabbed my coffee, cigs, and donut....
Starting at the top.
You will probably want to get one of these.
With a good cleaning solution (maybe UGL drylok etch masonry cleaner, follow all directions)clean the chimney crown. You will want to add sealant, make it look like this... Here's a link you can follow too.
Pay attention to how many photos are in one spot.

Whats done is done, unless you feel comfortable taking up roofing, but you don't have to. At this point if you have never done it it's better to do it this way.
Take of the chimney flashing and clean the area really good. Then add this..
You will put half the width on the chimney and half on the roof making sure to form it to the surface.
Measure each side and make the pieces 8" longer, if the side of chimney measures 12" + 8" = 20". Start at the bottom side, make sure the material wraps around both sides equal distance. Then do the two sides making sure they wrap the top and over the bottom. The top then wraps the sides.
You can get an idea of doing this from the flashing part. The flashing will cover over this. Just don't cut the corners, they stretch around, yep, pressure and elbow grease.This message has been edited. Last edited by: ron45,
Step flashig or regular chimney flashing.?
Using the steps in this link is for step flashing.But it will give you and idea of how to do the reg. chimney flashing, the lines are just cut straight in the chimney not stepped.
Here's some chimney flashing.? You just won't use the steps, just the long piece... You will have to bend the metal...
http://www.homedepot.com/p/Unb...310122-RBR/203581337This message has been edited. Last edited by: ron45,
also, add black jack under the flashing where it meets the roof and anywhere that water may enter. You can also use 100% silicone.
If you have any questions just ask.?
...This message has been edited. Last edited by: ron45,
At the end of this video will show you how to cut for the flashing, but yours will be ell shaped at the bootom and resting on roof.

- So Much More
Memento Mori Skull Ring Dated 1704
Memento mori is a Latin phrase which literally means, "Remember that you must die". This term has been applied to a form of jewelry to advise those alive to live each moment to the fullest and keep sacred the memory of those gone before. The earliest examples have been found in Europe and date to the 1400s. Flourishing in the late 17th to mid 18th century, these reminders of the transitory nature of life transitioned into what is now known as sentimental jewelry of two types: a memorial theme and the other of a sweeter more affectionate nature. Later on the ring developed into a form of memorial jewelry inscribed with the name and date of the passing of a person.
This particular high carat (20 – 22k) yellow gold is English in origin and is dated 1704. The simple gold band is hand chased with the coveted image of a skeleton head. Complete with engraved details of eyes, nose mouth and teeth, the skeleton head itself traditionally has symbolized the passing of life and the representation of mortality. Hand engraved to the interior is "T.D.: Ob: Ap 7: 1704" which translates to an individual with the initial of T. D. passed from this earth on April 7th in the year of 1704. The ring is accompanied by an antique ring box of brown leather not of original issue.
Date: 1704
Measurements: 3/16 of an inch (0.4 cm) in length north to south on the hand. Weight of 3.5 grams (2.3 dwt).
Ring Size: US 4-3/4 (UK J; Euro or Int. Circum. 48.7 mm; Int. Dia. 15.5 m; Japan over 8) and easily can be sized to fit most. Ring sizing information.
Condition: Excellent for its age.

The project took several years to create. Goldsworthy had chosen his site specific work in Alderney for the island's mixture of differing environments and the quality of the soil. The stones are placed in unexpected places and left to the whim of the site.
They started as local clay soil trucked to a makeshift studio where a team worked at testing and building the massive clay spheres. Materials were located throughout the island which were incorporated into each stone- from blackberries and barley to discarded gloves, bricks and metal objects. The five-foot diameter balls were then allowed to dry for a year before being moved. Each stone is placed in a site specific location where it will dissolve and eventually reveal its contents.

One of the best parts about having a shop is the window dressing and for me it is serious business! Not only is it the face of the store, enticing all passers by to come in and explore, but an outlet for my frustrated fine artist side! I always try to create a mood of wonder and enchantment, a little vitrine of dreams. So what is better than this anatomy of a window for my first blog?
My love of all things distressed, aged, and antique was the inspiration for this window,with a nod to the sculpture of Louise Nevelson. First we scoured our county in upstate New York for a hodgepodge of antique tools, toys, chairs, furniture parts, sporting equipment and even a pair of crutches to make our display! We built out the window parts at our country house as usual since our office in Manhattan is a bit lacking in the room department. Here is a sneak peek at the building process and the final results. Have fun!

For the past century, the Harley-Davidson Motor Company has sold more than just a motorcycle; they've sold a slice of Americana. From a humble beginning, in a 10 by 15 foot shed, to an empire that stretches across the globe, Harley-Davidson has succeeded where others have failed. In 1901 Milwaukee, boyhood friends William S. Harley and Arthur Davidson begin building a motorized bicycle from one of Harley's blueprints. In a ten by fifteen foot shed in the Davidson's backyard, with the words "Harley-Davidson Motor Company" scrawled on the door, an American Icon was born.

LOUISA, Va. (AP) - Dominion Virginia Power officials say plans are still on track for a third nuclear reactor at the company's North Anna Power Station.
Critics of the plan are doubtful that the proposed Unit 3 will be built. They cite low natural gas prices, delays in the approval process and the Fukushima disaster in Japan.
"I think Dominion is whistling past the graveyard on this project," Lou Zeller, executive director of the Blue Ridge Environmental Defense League, told The Free Lance-Star.
Eugene S. Grecheck, Dominion vice president of nuclear development, acknowledged that demand for electricity has dropped due to the economy and natural gas is a more attractive fuel due to falling prices.
"But in the long term, we are convinced that it is not in the company's interest, or the nation's interest, to be completely dependent on only one fuel," Grecheck told the newspaper.
"Historically, the price of natural gas has been very volatile and subject to very big swings."
Dominion believes a diversity of energy sources should be maintained. Nuclear energy is still a key component of the company's long-term energy plan, he said.
Dominion initially filed an application for Unit 3 a decade ago and received an early-site permit in November 2007 to resolve environmental and safety issues and to complete preliminary site work. But approval of the project has been delayed by regulatory hurdles.
In 2010, Dominion selected Mitsubishi Heavy Industry's Advanced Pressurized Water Reactor technology for the potential unit.
Jerry Rosenthal, a Louisa County resident, does not believe that the proposed reactor will be built.
"I think the answer is pretty clear: Dominion did not even include North Anna 3 in their (integrated resource) plan for the next five years," said Rosenthal, a member of People's Alliance for Clean Energy, which opposes Unit 3.

Easley man arrested for income tax evasion
Pickens County resident and owner of Pro-Line Painting, Roger Dale Wilson failed to accurately report income received in 2007, 2008 and 2009. During those years, Wilson reported a total gross income of $414,080 and a South Carolina income tax liability of $0.
The South Carolina Department of Revenue investigation revealed Wilson had gross income of $1,571,960 for the years 2007 through 2009. Wilson failed to report $1,157,880 of income in order to evade payment of $53,667 in state income taxes.
If found guilty of the three felony charges, Wilson could face fines of up to $30,000 and/or up to 15 years in prison.
Wilson is currently being held at the Pickens County Detention Center where he is awaiting a bond hearing. The Pickens County Sheriff's Department assisted with the arrest.

An Inside Look at PALS
For the next couple of days, The Principals' Office will feature reflections from participants in the Peer Assisted Leadership Services (PALS) training program taking place now at the NAESP headquarters. PALS trains mentors to play a vital role in the future of new principals, their leadership, and their schools by certifying them to become a National Principal Mentor. The first part of this process is a three-day Leadership Immersion Institute to sharpen and develop administrative and leadership skills to mentor aspiring or new principals. Here are the principals who will share their experiences:
From left, to right:Jan Conway, principal of Glen Avenue Elementary School in Salisbury, Maryland Joyce Dunn, principal of Pittsville Elementary and Middle School in Pittsville, MarylandKathy Woodley, principal of West Springfield Elementary School in Springfield, VirginiaDwayne Young, principal of Centreville Elementary School in Centreville, Virginia
PALS Training—Day One
Dwayne reflects on why he decided to become a mentor:
One of the influential leaders in my life, Dr. Loretta Webb, always challenged us to "lift others as we climb." Her challenge was to always consider the positive impact we can have on others through our learning and our work, just as others have had upon us. By participating in PALS, I hope to gain the skills to offer confidence and encouragement to a beginning principal to find his or her own way. I also hope that this will be a personal and professional growth opportunity for me.
Jan and Joyce give details about what they learned about mentoring:
We were actively engaged the entire day, learning that mentoring is more than a workplace process. The professional, personal, emotional, and physical needs of our protégés must be included in the process. So far, the PALS training has provided us an opportunity to get to know conference participants and to share fabulous ideas. We're working together to promote and strengthen the profession that we love.
Kathy explains one of the reflective exercises:
The first day of the PALS training was an awesome experience. After introductions, we were asked to make a timeline with the names of persons who have mentored us to become principals and then to use one word that described what they had done. I shared that one of my first principals had seen potential in me that I did not realize I possessed. Her vision, encouragement, and belief in me were the "evidence" of her impact on my life.
The interaction and dialogue with colleagues has been powerful, and I felt affirmation of my decision to participate in this training. I am excited about tomorrow and am eager to continue by journey to becoming a mentor.
Check back tomorrow to find out about day two of the PALS training.
NAESP's Statement on the President's Budget Request for FY09
Our nation's schools are faced with unprecedented challenges, and educators are working to create and maintain effective learning communities to help children reach their highest potential. However, the Fiscal Year 2009 budget proposal that President Bush delivered to Congress this week fails to adequately fund essential programs to prepare the nation's students for the bright futures that they deserve.
President Bush's final budget request calls for $59.2 billion for federal education programs—which represents a cut in total spending— and seeks to eliminate funding for 47 programs and to freeze funding for many others.
Read NAESP's reaction to the President's budget and full budget analysis.
NCLB and Students with Disabilities
The National Council on Disability recently issued a report gauging NCLB's impact on the academic progress of students with disabilities. Among the findings of The No Child Left Behind Act and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act: A Progress Report are that students with disabilities are doing better in terms of placement in various academic categories, "positive change is greater at the fourth grade and dissipates by the eighth grade," and "since 2004 there has been a palpable and positive change in the overall attitude of educators toward educating students with disabilities." Check out the report and let us know how it compares with your experiences.
State of the Union Previews Bush's Education Budget
On Monday, President Bush gave his seventh and final State of the Union address to Congress and the nation, providing a sneak peek at some key initiatives from his budget request that will be released next week. Here are some of the issues that affect public school education. "Pell Grants for Kids"President Bush called on Congress to adopt another federal voucher program called "Pell Grants for Kids." The important distinction between traditional recipients of Pell Grants and K-12 students is that public schools are free and compulsory, while Pell Grants help students pay for college that is not free and is voluntary.
NAESP will strongly oppose the President's proposal and attempt to redirect the $300 million he's earmarked for the voucher program to a public education priority, like Title I.
ESEA ReauthorizationPresident Bush instructed Congress to reauthorize No Child Left Behind before he leaves office, stating "today, no one can deny [the] results" of the law. NAESP does not expect to see a final reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, currently known as NCLB, before 2009 but we will continue to share NAESP's recommendations for the ESEA reauthorization with Congress.
In the meantime, visit the newly designed Leading Educators' Advocacy Dashboard (LEAD) to find out updates on the progress toward ESEA's reauthorization.
The Principals Have Decided …
The winner of NAESP's second annual Principal's Read Aloud Award is Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type (written by Doreen Cronin and illustrated by Betsy Lewin). Over 900 principals from across the country voted for Click, Clack, Moo, a charming tale about Farmer Brown and his barn full of literate cows.
The Principal's Read Aloud Award program recognizes quality children's books and encourages principals to read aloud to their students. The presentation of the Read Aloud Award will be made during NAESP's Annual Convention and Exposition in Nashville on Monday, April 7 at 10 a.m.
To begin the selection process for the 2009 award, NAESP is asking members to nominate a favorite title. If you have a book that you have enjoyed reading to children, please submit the title, author/illustrator, and publisher along with your name to firstname.lastname@example.com. We are looking for books that are currently in print and therefore readily available to our members. We look forward to honoring great children's books and appreciat e your participation in the process.
Pittsburgh Superintendent Focuses on Instructional Leadership
Pittsburgh Superintendent Mark Roosevelt has a plan for his principals—to transform them from building managers to instructional leaders, reports the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. During the past two school years, Roosevelt told principals about their new role, started the Pittsburgh Leadership Academy to help them adjust, and created a "School Plan for Excellence" for each school in the district.
NAESP believes that it is incumbent upon school principals to continue their professional growth in order to improve instructional leadership and model lifelong learning. What do you think about Roosevelt's plan?
Who Controls the School E-mail List?
Healthy communication between schools and parents allows both to collaborate in providing the best possible learning experience for students. Many schools find that using an e-mail list keeps parents in the loop. But The Washington Post reports that maintaining a school e-mail list can become problematic. Often maintained by a school's PTA, conflict can arise over ownership if the list manager decides to leave the PTA or if there are stringent rules about who can post, for example. "As PTA Groups Move Online, So Does Dissension" describes some of the pitfalls of PTA managed e-mail lists. School administrators and PTA groups should work together when introducing an e-mail list. Establish ground rules and have people abide by them.
Help for Principals Seeking Grants
The lead article of the January 2008 issue of Communicator focused on how principals can find and apply for grants that will benefit their school. Here are a few sites that can help get you started on finding the right grant for your school. Let us know your experiences with finding and applying for funding.
www.grantsalert.comThis site is dedicated entirely to education funding and features a Grant Writers' Directory—searchable by state or key word—that lists individuals and organizations experienced with writing winning proposals.
www.fundsnetservices.com/educ01.htmThis site provides links to companies and foundations whose funding interests include education. Both large (e.g., Pfizer, Motorola) and smaller, lesser-known (e.g., Bowling Foundation, Frey Foundation) organizations are listed.
www.ed.gov/fund/grant/find/edlite-forecast.htmlThis site lists virtually all programs and competitions under which the U.S. Department of Education has invited or expects to invite applications for new awards for fiscal year 2008, and provides actual or estimated deadline dates for the submission of applications under these programs.
www.naesp.org/ContentLoad.do?contentId=917The NAESP Web site lists several more resources to help principals obtain funding for their school.
Cheers to the New Year!
The Principals' Office will be taking a break for the next two weeks. Check back in with us in January for continued discussions of the complexities of the principalship and engaging posts that connect you with your colleagues.
We wish you a wonderful holiday season and all the best for the new year!
Should Zeros Be Permitted?
The January/February 2008 Speaking Out article addresses whether or not to give students a zero grade for an incomplete or missing assignment. The author of the current article believes that students should never receive zeros because it results in loss of learning, lower motivation, and, ultimately, failure. As such, she helped implement a school program in which students are given after-school opportunities to complete missing assignments, requiring them to earn a grade on all their schoolwork.
Do you agree that zeros should be eliminated from grading scales? What methods have you found effective in decreasing student failure while maintaining integrity of student grades and learning? Speak out and let us know what you think!

Re: Post your Fixie piccies
Repost. Should have posted here first.
As it arrived on my door.
At modifications end.
Originally: Norco Diamond.
Parts list: ProLite Bracciano wheels (1450g, 27mm), Deda RS1 seat post, Deda Zero100 80mm stem in dark metal, Deda Zero 100 Newton Deep bars in dark metal, Cane Creek brake levers, Shimano Ultegra cranks, Shimano 105 outboard BB, Shimano 105 pedals, Crank Bros SL headset, Controltech Ti spacers, Shimano Tiagra brakes with Ultegra pads, Selle Italia Flite saddle, Michelin Pro4 tyres, Gates CDX 55T front, 22T rear (20T on the way) and 113T belt.
Rides awesomely. Did 75kms on it the other day and it was so pleasant. Handles superbly and is beautifully responsive. Not exactly typical fixie type build, but is a roadie focussed cyclists idea of what an SS should be. Weighs about 8.5kg. Only thing I would change about the frame is the angle of the top tube. Not horizontal enough.

Re: Post your Fixie piccies
Hey mrgolf, I like the look of this, I am building up a winter commuter for a ~50km round trip and I wanted something akin to my Road bike only fixed. Where did you get the base bike from ?
Thanks in advance.
Rides : Merida Reacto 907E & The SS Larry
Re: Post your Fixie piccies
Belt drive and fixed might not mix too well. Especially on deceleration. But if you arent going belt drive, that is irrelevant.
I bought the bike off ebay. What is your budget? If I were planning a non fixed project exactly like a roadie, I would buy a cheap carbon frame and build one up with a tensioner. Then it could be exactly like your roadie. And you negate a lot of the riding issues related to typical fixes: heavy wheels and frames, narrow bars, style over comfort type approach. Not that that there is anything wrong with that. Its just that it will not make for a good daily 50km commute.
Re: Post your Fixie piccies
Except you can't build a fixed gear with a tensioner....only works on SS(sissy speed)
An eccentric BB or hub will allow you to run a fixed drivetrain with vertical dropouts.
Re: Post your Fixie piccies
Exactly. That was my suggestion. Ditch fixed and go SS. If you ride big kms on a roadie, changing to fixed gear isnt really your best course. You might find some unfounded superiority in ragging on someone who has chosen free over fixed like a hipster keyboard warrior (teehee), but it is no less a valid form of cycling. Its just less caught up in dictating to others what they think is the cool way to ride. As a cyclist that races road and mtb, my choice of free related to limiting possible injury associated with having your legs directly attached to the drivetrain, and regardless of your preference, you cannot deny there is more chance of injury to muscles on a fixed than a free. If I get injured, I dont race. I also can't commute 35kms each day and have to catch a bus. Regardless of your disdain for freewheelers, you wouldnt honestly wish that on them. It sounds like the OP is a similar cyclist to me if he is looking for a roadie style bike for commuting.
Your suggestion of eccentric hub is excellent. Then he could run free or fixed whenever he wanted and get rid of the unsightly tensioner. Nice work. If I ever decide my bike is too pretty (personal opinion, and I imagine my post has now coloured a few opinions of my bike now... ) to ride frequently, or I want to race SS, a carbon frame with a eccentric hub would be ace. Do you know what they weigh compared to a conventional hub? I imagine there would have to be some weight penalty.

Pirates! They sail outlaw ships filled with despicable men. They dress in outlandish costumes and speak with flourished words. They carry parrots on their shoulders and send their enemies down wooden planks. But these are the pirates of fiction that have been romanticized in countless books and films. But how much do we really know about actual pirates and how accurate are our impressions?
There may not have been ghost ships laden with cursed sailors, but the Caribbean was indeed once full of Pirates. In this exciting hour we bring you four stories of real pirates that once wreaked havoc on the Caribbean and beyond. We'll introduce Captain Kidd who plundered his way to the end of a noose and Black Beard, quite possibly the most famous pirate of all time. We'll look at Anne Bonny and Mary Read, two female pirates who became friends and shipmates, and we'll also highlight Sir Henry Morgan, one of the few pirates actually to have been knighted. Go go underwater to discover the remains of Black Beard's ship and see how pirates have been depicted in TV and film, including Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean. We'll meet modern-day treasure hunters and maybe even someone who has had a run in with pirates today.

- Run Time: 1 Hour 36 Minutes
A Wisconsin girl lives in terror of the secrets spirits share with her. Chip and Lisa bring her together with a similarly haunted boy who might be able to help her.
Kids see more than we think. Much more.
In this new A&E® original series, famed medium Chip Coffey, who helped the PRS squad so many times on Paranormal State, teams up with psychologist and Columbia University professor Dr. Lisa Miller to shepherd gifted children through unexplained, sometimes frightening, experiences that go far beyond "imaginary friends."
It's not easy being a 13-year-old girl in Wisconsin, particularly if one of the many evil horned spirits you see tells you you're going to die in a car accident. That's how things are for Ashley when Chip and Lisa arrive to help her deal with her unwelcome gift. First they show Ashley she's not alone by introducing her to Dalton.
Dalton is a 15 year-old boy with similar abilities. His prediction of the location of a missing person in his hometown was validated two weeks later when a body was found at the bottom of a local lake. And like Ashley, Dalton is continually haunted by spirits, mostly from a 19th century cemetery near his house.
Can Chip and Lisa help the youths better manage their abilities and overcome their fears? Can Ashley and Dalton come to terms with their ANGELS AND DEMONS?
