    That hub on that 5 inch wheel is Sturmey Archer SX-RK3. That makes the dropouts a bit over 170mm wide. Such a cool piece, instead of replacing it, I'd be having it anodozed the wanted color. Edit:

    He showed/told me that the construction of the new series is different than the skeleton series of frames. Skeletron's were box on between the bent box. The newer frames are a lot lighter as they use plate instead of voc between the bent box tubing. A couple skeletrons for reference... One...

    A couple Saturdays ago, Art and I rode from the launchpad to Crank N Grind where his welder was at. The seat had broke a weld from the night before. After he welded.it back together we hung out and talked. Great guy. I think this one was the second.

    Fully agree. Lots of things todo with that big of a canvass. One thing I saw a couple weekends ago, engraving is working its way back with a bigger showing this year than before. With all those extra holes on those wheels, it has me thinking EL Wire for lighting them up. Way better than...

    Had a friend win a raffle last weekend who gave me this huge SA hub for a very nice price. It should end up on my build off bike. If things go as I want them to...

    I got the opportunity to hang out with Marty in last weeks fun over at Mike Brittain's mom's place. Smart creative guys... At the show, and after, we hung out and heard a lot of stories about the 00's custom bike scene. Thanks, she's put in a ton of hard work. We are so proud of her. She's...

    I'm still kicking around a few ideas. Saw this Marty Eden built custom bike from the early days that may be an inspiration for my build. Have a lot of irons in the fire. Will have a late start, my daughter is graduating from vet school at the first of the month.

    Been a busy few weekend now that spring is here. Weeds and raking and general cleanup last weekend. Found a few spots on the head tube this morning, still needing to be smoothed flat from a rock I ran into once. Plans this afternoon with friends. Will pull the polisher out sometime this...

    Thank You Ian! I haven't done much on this except ride it around the house. Finished up the Darts disc brake conversion and brake line replacement last weekend. Added mx bars to my BuildOff bike from last summer for the Wednesday ride downtown last night. I like it better like this... M...
