    Lets see your OG RRB Swag (Shirts, Hats etc)

    Thanks! I probably just forgot to do that. Time to re-up and get more.

    I’d put a chain guard on my bike if I could get one of those stickers! Or even one on the frame. How do we get them? I think we were supposed to get one for being a supporter, but it never came.

    I don’t have any! Not even stickers. This needs to be fixed.

    Build-Off "Parts Needed"

    You got there just Before I left. I left in 2002. That area seems to change quickly. I left in around 73, went back in 79, left in 87, back in 93,… the towns got bigger and closer together every time, a lot of the roads got paved,… Huron Parkway was a “test drive “ spot when I was in high...

    Build-Off "Parts Needed"

    I used to live very close to there, and my dad still does. I used to ride along the Huron river from Ann Arbor to Dexter and around Manchester when I lived over there. I miss that area sometimes.

    Build-Off "Parts Needed"

    I like the one on top. I shined one of those up and put it on my lotus frame. I need to build that back up. The Fuji absolute looks like a nice design. If it had room for some fat tires someone could have some fun with it.

    Build-Off "Parts Needed"

    What is a Fuji attitude I don’t think I’m familiar with that? For the most part I don’t ride road bikes much anymore either. I need to be able to do a minimum of 1/2 of soft dirt just to get to pavement, so “gravel” bikes are my style. My definition of a gravel bike is one that’s fun to ride on...

    Build-Off "Parts Needed"

    I don’t think I have a seat worth sending, or at all after some unauthorized garage “cleaning “ but I have a box with reflectors and such so I will look for that this weekend.

    I used to be respectable

    Thanks for joining this is a fun group, many of us used to be respectable, some never were, and rumor has it a few are, but that’s not worth talking about. Welcome aboard. We all love pictures and creative problem solving, even if you had to make up the problem.

    What have you been riding lately?

    Lol I should have entered this in the skinny build.

    What have you been riding lately?

    I need a double ring for up front, or maybe I should take the Dingle off the back. Either way, it has plenty of clearance for fatter tires. That kind of hurts. Maybe new fatter rubber is in order.

    What have you been riding lately?

    Frame from my last unfinished build. Mixed and matched some bits…. Took it out for a trial ride. Was well after dark by the time I Headed home with sore legs. 😀

    Guitar Players: Show us yours!

    Cool. The abominable bass! I’m almost done with this camping/ parlor guitar I was asked to build. Sitka top, everything else is black walnut. Fretless, full scale, piezos inside in case she ever needs to amplify.

    Show me your fixed gear bikes. Any fixed wheel bicycle is allowed.

    Very cool. Odd enough to be mine, but my old neck and wrist don’t like drops anymore. I have a frame I BLO’d years ago and it’s doing well in the Florida heat and humidity. I let it rust up a bit (a couple of days here) then did a wash with some phosphoric acid, and repeated, without rinsing...

    The next build off? Plans for the future

    Sounds fun. I missed the vote, and haven’t finished my summer build, but I have a nice frame hanging in the garage and should be able to build from my pile of parts. I probably missed it, but what is the max width to still be a “skinny tire” ?

    Bike stool

    This is a great idea. I might just end up with a new shop stool soon.
