That's a cool bike and it looks great! 8) I've been curious about this kind of bikes (and a few other kinds, to be honest... :lol: )for a while. They look really comfortable.

Re: "Chain of Fools"
I hope you used my non OSHA approved method of cutting the groove in that wheel :wink: if not the other method is ok but bland. My way is indeed more fun with the wheel screaming like a turbine and stopping for no one.
I have many miles on this type of bike with baggy shorts. (the whistling is not from the chain) :roll:
Wicked cool 8) bike KOTA..........hope to ride it soon.

Re: "Chain of Fools"
The only thing better than "stealing" ideas is having someone else do the WORK. Member Peterbuilt started taking a course for Machinist. Once I told him what I wanted, it suddenly showed up at my door. :lol:

looks good.
DONE! Front brake on. Rear carrier on. Everything adjusted. Took three links out of the chain. changed the "cheap" pedals for alloy ones. Rode it for twenty miles. Did some hills. VERY fast on flat roads (But I won't be going fast)...Steering feels like a Miata. :mrgreen: Thanks for looking!
Resurrecting this thread, from the dead, after six years. I'm cleaning out and cutting back on everything, all my other builds are gone, and it's time for this bike to go. I've used it a lot, had my fun with it (it's not an easy bike to transport). So I loaded a pile of metal and this in my utility trailer and brought everything to a recycler. He would only take the bike for free if everything that was not metal was removed, otherwise it's $10. As my first post in this thread said, 6 years ago, this bike has some sentimental value to me, the first frame I ever put together (June '05). It still rides great, I never sell anything "wild" that I made. This is the first of the bikes that I built, and it's the last one to go. I couldn't do it! So I took it back home and decide to keep it as.....YARD ART.
Pretty flowers will be surrounding it very shortly.

I'm glad I kept it too! Now every time I go by it, I'm reminded of some of the best times I've had. I still ride. I just don't build any longer (if you can call what I was doing building
). I miss this place, still check in occasionally. It's really nice to see the energy that's still here, and the level of skills keeps climbing.
