What have you been riding lately?

[Mr. Monkeyarms]

That was quite a sight for sure!! Thanks to both of you for stopping by for refreshments before the ride the past few weeks!

Really turned into a great night for a ride despite the threat of rain.

Great shots, hamp ! That bridge is a gothic masterpiece. I am curious about the shifter in the cockpit shot. I like the thumb lever location. Would it work for a Sturmey 3 speed?

I agree.
No, it's a Shimano Nexus shifter.

Where's yours?

I'm sponsored by 3M. . . kinda heavy tho

It’s an ‘80 J.C. Penney Superstar…(Murray made)?

The proverbial "monkey, humping a football". That bike holds speed surprisingly well. Wondering if an old MTB frame with similar geo would make a 26" F1 that actually fits me. That notion may be a good idea for a Winter Build-Off Skinny Bike with 1.5s

Beautiful weather here for building and riding, except for our one day of actual real rain here in the desert.

I’m riding this every day.




And I’m still working on it every night, because it is a work in progress. I still have to wire up the lights, and do a decent paint job on it. It wants some kind of small toolbox underneath the seat so I can store a few Allen wrenches etc.

The fenders are a nice hot rod touch

I tried to evoke the spirit of the name being used on a muscle bike in the ‘70’s

But I didn’t want to stray too much from its MTB roots.

That looks sooooooo fun !

 

[late for dinner]

I recently took the SHARKRUISER on a meandering parts hunt throughout the depths of downtown Toronto.

Next on the road was the '52 CCM that I adopted in July.
After a recent wheel shuffle in the herd, this old cream puff ended up with my old faithful Shimano 7 speed.

Then a short spin today on this rendition of a 24" Hiawatha Rat that I have put up for adoption with extra baby apes included.

 

[Graylock]

This sweet plaid ‘58 Rudge is my ride for today. Named it the Grudge Rudge from a former build off.

 

[Pondo]

I haven't been riding too much as my hip is acting up but I recently had my TOC out and about. Fun bike. I'm thinking about swapping out my 2 speed kick-back for a Nexus. I'm not sure though, I didn't really want a shifter and cable on this one but the extra gears would help with the hills around here.

I hear you on the kick back and no cablesj. My Schwinn Flat Lander was a 10speed and I laced a coaster brake on that rim. I have a new kickback for it but I found a three speed coaster brake that I’ll lace on instead. I’ll place the shifter on the frame instead of the bars.
