Help Support Rat Rod Bikes:
One of the things I really don't like about this time of year is my lack of consistency. There's so much yard work - although I do enjoy being out in the fresh air - and so many other distractions. With a run of really nice weather, I found myself throwing open the garage a lot of days and just spending hours working on woodworking projects. I haven't been on a bike other than the indoor trainer in almost 3 weeks. I kept telling myself I need to put other things aside and go for a ride, but just couldn't push myself to do it. Tomorrow I ride, rain or no.
Out for a quick blast up the local river trail after work for a shakedown run on the Typhoon. When I first slapped this bike together years ago it had a nexus 3, then I swapped in a nexus 7 wheel set, then back to a different nexus 3 wheel set which gave problems. Its now back to a 7 speed nexus again which is super smooth and fast.

Took the Evans out for a short ride in a underground parkade tonight. Stopped at the car wash on the way to blow the spider webs and dust off it. Rides not bad for just pumping up the tires and tightening the rear wheel bearing.

Is there a thread for customized road bikes, especially road bikes with tanks? If so, I'd really like to check it out. Those traditional diamond frames seem so challenging to customize, so it's cool to see a good-looking example of such a bike!
