    TRADITIONAL Momma V

    2 full links allowed the chain to fit again Found another neck. A bit rusted but fits those 1" apes perfectly. Like the last one did. Ordered some thompson 1" grips for tillers and snowblower and a couple chains today. Ordered the last set. (Thanks for having them @ifitsfreeitsforme ) .

    TRADITIONAL Momma V

    I've been fighting getting the neck out that I put in as a pivot seat post way back in one of the early MBBOs. Not moving for at least 9 months now... Ol Bessie, my short sledge that has busted a knuckle or two in the shop got it to budge today and I was able it work it out of the seat...

    TRADITIONAL Momma V

    By the light of the.... wheel? A mockup. I don't think the Mag doesn't fit the build well. Bars seem small. Wheels all around seem smol. Still thinking through details. I do think that this frame does look good as a trike.

    TRADITIONAL Momma V

    The first candidate frame is from 'That Blue Bike'. She pointed to that one in the stable last night and said what about that one. It's a fun bike to ride and one of my active steeds Will look a lot different as a trike. No front brake currently. Chain stays are curved , so a drop could...

    TRADITIONAL Momma V

    No rear brakes. Might not have front brakes when done. Was thinking of making al disc setup on the back. The drivetrain has a lot to be desired. 3 gears, no derailer. the tension is set for the middle gear. Will either go single or figure out a better multi gear setup... Thanks Pondo...

    TRADITIONAL Momma V

    Starting this ride out in the Traditional class and will move it over if modifications have to occur to Unlimited. Picked up this trike for a great price last week. Gonna build it up for my wife who would like to ride on our Sunday rides, but with balance and things from things out of our...

    Anybody sniffing BO 19 in the air?

    Yes the last 40 days have been quite eventful. Good, bad and in between. I've given a little thought into combining the two. That 4-stroke, although much quieter than the 2-strokes is also 3" wider than the 2 strokes. I will start with the trike as soon as I come up with a plan. Budget is...

    Anybody sniffing BO 19 in the air?

    I might almost be ready to pull something in. Been really hectic around here. Between graduation, a free golf cart, epileptic seizures, kidney stones, moving my daughter across the 4 states, 80th Bday for my dad and driving over 2200 miles in the last 8 days I'm pretty wore out. My Creative...

    That hub on that 5 inch wheel is Sturmey Archer SX-RK3. That makes the dropouts a bit over 170mm wide. Such a cool piece, instead of replacing it, I'd be having it anodozed the wanted color. Edit:

    He showed/told me that the construction of the new series is different than the skeleton series of frames. Skeletron's were box on between the bent box. The newer frames are a lot lighter as they use plate instead of voc between the bent box tubing. A couple skeletrons for reference... One...

    A couple Saturdays ago, Art and I rode from the launchpad to Crank N Grind where his welder was at. The seat had broke a weld from the night before. After he welded.it back together we hung out and talked. Great guy. I think this one was the second.

    Anybody sniffing BO 19 in the air?

    Fully agree. Lots of things todo with that big of a canvass. One thing I saw a couple weekends ago, engraving is working its way back with a bigger showing this year than before. With all those extra holes on those wheels, it has me thinking EL Wire for lighting them up. Way better than...

    Ordered the pair of 26x5s black hoops today. Price is 1/3 what they cost during the 2021-2022 times... One each to go with these LE 29s I got from Juan @Artistic .

    Saw thes on Ebay. Probably getting a pair. They will be good for the back on one of my builds and have 29x3's for the front. https://www.ebay.com/itm/125579957997?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=yRHUOGXbTJm&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=4lb2AyNxQYS&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

    Had a friend win a raffle last weekend who gave me this huge SA hub for a very nice price. It should end up on my build off bike. If things go as I want them to...
