That, sir, is one of the unspoken main attractions of this business of building bikes, in my estimation. Of course, these points align with & are massively "over shadowed" by the satisfaction of actually designing & building a conveyance upon which one rides. B. Independent

Yo... It's the monkey. That's right... Trunk Monkey. Mickey's Monkey getting kinda funky, looking right chunky. Chunky Trunk Monkey, LLC.

Yessir, boxed wheels do occupy surprizing amounts of space. I am curious if a box would ride UPS down I95 at lower rate than the post office. Please note that hubs (s) with spokes is an ok option here, too, seein's as I have rims & might use a 29er or a 32". I'm in zip code 32210 in...

That would be splendid, sir. If'n I get only one I'll be tickled, but I do want a pair, please, especially if complete wheels. A Nexus would be absolutely grand. Thank you many times well in advance.

Thanks, guys. I wonder if Da Beach is connected to Daytona Speedway. Wouldn't that be sumpin'? Red daily ride Cannondale M300 is down for repairs; gray Trek (spare) is now daily ride; the 27.5" Genisis was bought to cannibalize, but is pretty & I wants to ride it; same with 29" Mongoose &...

Cool idea of foam to fill that void. Shades of Ed Roth. Likes that Radio Flyer, too. Drove the wheels of a fire truck pedal car when I was 4 1/2 - 5 years old. They match. Many questions about this project, but I don't want to hi-jack your thread.

Ain't no thing. Merely curious. I left a broken 200 mph Z-car there on a cold winter day many years ago. (Uh, the one near Ill-Ind border.) Without mention of Calif., I would wonder if that Exeter was Penn or Ont., cause neither one is near a Visalia. Is it just me, or is this getting...

That 1st kid was clearly not happy with those horrible pants. Then... the kid in the beanie had to wait for a monkey.

Greetings! Go ahead... put it where ya want it. Front, back, on the roof... I've had VW Beetles & a Corvair, though my only attempt to ride bare back did not go well. ~ Internally geared hubs are the cat's meow. Only had 3-spd so far, but I thinks 7 or 8 or so with belt drive & big honkin'...

Welcome aboard. Nice looking bike. About that 52T cog... well, more accurately, the swap to that big ol' 52 tooth gear. How was adjusting to it? Got extra long crank arms to take advantage of the extra oomph? Does / did it stress your muscles? I frequently think on movin' on up from the...

Enjoying the beginning of your interesting post is marred by a question concerning a thing to which you refer more than once. What, pray tell, is an LBS? Thank you. Please continuewith this marvelous story. It was, indeed, quite interesting, especially after working all over Penn. in 1995-6...

Eridez, o, Eridez, where are you Eridez? This build is fabulous & severely in need of completion. we near a year since you posted this, sir. Is you aok? Thank you.

That is a fine lookin' bike you have there, Mr Miyagi. That front fork is an eye catcher. I've been a fan of flames several decades. Is the seatpost one those high dollar double lever action gizmos?
