It still needs some tuning to improve the ride, but that can wait.

UPDATE!!! Some double IPA inspiration led me to a fix for the Nexus, and I found the pin!!! Final photo for judging.

Well then it at least qualifies. Maybe I'll try to figure something out this evening about the shifter.

Beautiful bike!

Nice work Ken!

Would have gotten more scenic pics (like at the brewery and marina) but a storm just rolled in so no riding today.

Well here she is.... Didn't get everything I wanted done because I screwed up the Nexus twist shifter. Lesson learned. Voting pic; Here is how she started life Picked up a super crusty Higgins and paint matched the trike year to the rust. Anyone have a Nexus 3 speed twist shifter for sale?

Guess that's as much as I can do since I screwed up the shifter.

Note to self: figure out how the Nexus works before modifying it. Wonder how much a new grip shift costs.

Looks like it's gonna get done!! Nexus might not be functional though since my parts box got knocked over and the spring/pin went missing. Ugghh.

I thought is was 10 tonight.!!!!

So there's good news and bad news. The good news is that this will get finished; the bad news is that it won't be today. It will probably be tomorrow. I blame an unexpected brewery soft opening near my house and the resultant beers. I was building this for me anyway so no big loss. I got the...

Who knew that finding a barrel nut would be so damned hard? Everyone just looks mystified when I say I'm building a jockey shifter for my bicycle. Guess I have to go to the specialty bolt store tomorrow (yes, we have such a thing).

please put a shroud over the propeller

Your BO10 ten bikes is awesome. I've driven by that sign before in Mipples.

Well it looks like a trike! I'd post pics but my garage is so slam packed right now it's embarrassing. Need to do up the chain line and fab up the shifter and mount and she's good to go. Thinking back to the pool ball due to space limitations. The faux rust paint matches up pretty good.

This is why I am excited to go to Amsterdam in September. Gonna ride bikes everywhere.

Roughly 8 pounds of water per gallon so you should be good. Maybe craft some fairings to give you a little bit better hydrodynamics. Can you use a tiller for steering?

Actually made some progress. Rear end is built and the frame is broken down and ready for transplant. Need to fab a mount for the suicide shifter and decide on a shifter knob. Was gonna do a pool ball but maybe a tap handle would be better. Good thing i have 8 or so of those laying around. Wish...

I used that green Glitterblast paint on my BO8 bike. It looks pretty good but is very fragile and prone to chipping.
