It doth appear apologies are in order here. With zero intent to Shanghai, highjack, or otherwise alter the direction of your thread, I entered when your mention of shenanigans caught my eye, being an enthusiastic shenanigan enthusiast low these many years. O my my... Your words broke loose a...

Well... Real nice that they spent time to be polite & answer your inquiry AND say why, instead of mere fluff.

NNAAaaah... They's reasons your bike is too tall. Before skeletal shrink (part of aging), I was barely 5'10". At 68, standing about 5'8 3/4", my 29" & 32" are rideable because the seats are low enough. My 1st Cannondale was a 26" that was too tall with stand over for the very tall.

I spent save allowances on a Wham-O wheelie bar & extended fork.

Doesn't much hear use of that word often. Shenanigan enthusiasm doth abound all around. Even found wee helmet-size Shenanigan enthusiast stickers. Seein' as I've begun wearing them, they must be customized. In my experience, that connection is most often severely misunderstood by most folks...

Man, did you ever find that Ground Hugger plan set? Not rushing you or anything, seeing as it has been only 8 1/2 years. I'd much like to have them within easy reach. -*- The same goes for the 2nd generation of Mr. Riley's plans , o, & some of his other plans sets. Now that I can order plans...

That isn't balls... Not even close. That is low-life thievery, a severe lack of integrity & respect for fellow beings, which begins with lack of respect for self.

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...
