It was too late from the moment that Alien Fire came into contact with the wretched thing-alien races animating the dead to do their bidding is SOP since the 1950's. Ed Wood tried to warn us but we did not LISTEN!!! Running won't do you much good at this point-your only hope is to find the...

No clear or anti-rust coating? Yikes! Lots of polishing and Turtle Wax in your future! Good for your blocking technique Daniel-san...:showingbiceps:

Lavender may not be for everyone as you previously mentioned-but the simple lines and the purple and black accessories really make it pop! :thumbsup:

OH. MY. GOD. :rockout::praise::inlove::praise::rockout: Those Champagne highlights coupled with what I assume to be multiple Clearcoats on the clean, brazed lines of that frame...it was worth waiting twelve years for your inspiration to hit!

Absolutely gorgeous! :) How much weight do you calculate you can shave off the MK II vs the MK I given the former's all-wood construction?

Well, I can have as many wheels as I want as long as the machine is 'Pedal Only'-but if I ever add an electric motor (like the Phantom's Nephew and the Podride do to expand capabilities) then there's a good chance that the 'Pedal Quad' now becomes a 'Car' by legal default. With three or less...

Well, realistically, there's only so much money I can make at my dead-end, minimum wage, zero-benefit service job with a schedule consisting of "come in whenever we say so without notice"...:arghh: Believe me, i'd have made a LOT more builds before now if I could have afforded to actually buy...

I'd go with a rigid Young Adult frame (reinforced with gussets as I wish), sturdy 20" rims and hybrid tires, sturdy single-speed with BMX-quality chain, add a single-wheeled trailer made from two front forks and some reinforcing gussets ( =------= ) and i'm ready! Why the modified YA...

OOOOooooooohhh, SHINY! That is exquisite craftsmanship-hope they're peoperly appreciated...

Nope, i've seen a few Walking Stick fiddles before, but no CBGs until now! Addictive things aren't they? :D

Well, I don't wait on build parts so much as I wait on the money to buy parts (low-income service jobs are not conducive to hobbies, alas. :( ) but when i'm in between projects i'm either hanging out here soaking up knowledge, or i'm doing the same for my other hobby over here...

You have my attention sir....details on this brand please? :) So far my best and longest lasting paint job came from a can of Moller engine paint (who knew that Evinrude was actually a color? ) followed by a careful celebratory ride, two weeks full cure in a warm and dry utility building, and...

Beautiful build so far! :thumbsup: Are you planning on adding a motor back in to replace the Solex (either gas or electric) or is it going to be a somewhat over-engineered but stately Pedal-only bike?

What he said!

Wow...i'm really glad you put 'functional machine' over 'museum-class restoration'-you might have waited a lifetime to get that bike on the road if you hadn't! And that would have been a real shame! (slides virtual Sasparilla in your direction) :thumbsup:

Many thanks! Yeah, finding the 36-hole 20" rim will be the main issue- if I can't find one cheap i'll save it for another project, maybe use it as a 'jackshaft' gear on something with a long chainline...

So-if most internal hubs like a lower gearing, putting an old SA 3-speed with fresh oil in the reservoir (yeah, it has an oil reservoir) into a 20" rim should be golden, right? Because I am totally planning this as soon as I can afford the rims and spokes...
