Bonefish: The Afterlife

[MattiThundrrr]

I am trying to make space in the garage, she said there were too many bikes, and I'm planning to finish a couple more shortly. The plan was to sell Bonefish. Then I rode it. Too much fun. I rearranged the garage to make space

Traditional metal spoke wheels matching.

Two looks, which do you prefer?View attachment 227932View attachment 227933
The ride is a gazillion times better with the fat Tire on the spoked wheel. I just am not a muscle bike guy. BMX for life

Definitely spokes

 

[MattiThundrrr]

Just need to put on a brake cable now. Was on a test ride, supposed to take it easy. But Lil Thundrrr was on his 18" wheel race BMX, and we got in a bit of a street race.
"The finish line is that stop sign!"
Lol whoops, setting a fine example

 

[ingola]

You have a cable

 

[ingola]

And not an old one

 

[MattiThundrrr]

You have a cable.. not an old one

Yeah it is old, new old stock norco lol. But don't worry, the outer is old scraps

Just need to put on a brake cable now

I should also tighten up the front hub, quite loose, don't know if I ever touched it since I bought it

 

[ingola]

You should do that to

 

[GTHOtrod]

I vote ditch the mag and go spokes. Looks better, rides better, win win

 

[MattiThundrrr]

Yeah that mag and skinny was just to make class for the Muscle contest. Consider it gone.

 

[ingola]

Remember that third hand you bought now is the time to use it

Ingola loves this thing

Did I mention that nothing ever works out like it's supposed to?

Missed it by that much

 

[MattiThundrrr]

But anyhow, a bike I started in November of 2021 is finally finished.* 17 months later, a bike that should have taken two weeks:

*Almost finished. The cable is still too short, and I didn't crimp a cap on the end. Somebody gonna get jabbed

I have the same tool in my box. It's worth every penny, especially when working on caliper breaks!

Looks like you need a wire stretcher. I have many projects that have taken longer than yours. It is always the getting permission from your creative side of the brain to touch the project that takes longest. That is a nice bike.
