Got hit with a couple ice storms, but things a melting a bit today so I'm heading out to find a candidate for this steering wheel experiment now. I'll post pictures shortly.

Well I picked up a couple old John Deere tractor steering wheels not long after this was posted, and just got busy with other things. Yesterday I was digging in the parts shed looking for a stem I needed for a neighbor's bike and set some stems and stem adapters that were not what I was looking...

My mother is clearing out the attic and unused bedroom closets and she sent me a box with some of the things from my old bedroom closet she thought I might like to have. And in it was part of my old BMX Trading card collection. Been decades since I've seen these. Most likely will end up trying...

That was exactly what I was thinking when I put them back on it yesterday. So I ordered a new set already.

Got my latest obsession delivered today.

The Mercedes was delivered today. Put it back together and took it for it's 1st ride. I have a few adjustments to make especially the brakes. My 1st full suspension bike and my 1st hydraulic disc brakes. Once I get it dialed in it's going to be a fun bike. I'll be taking it apart and going over...

The new carbon fiber handlebars are on the way. Decided to replace the hybrid flat bar with a drop bar. Next items on the list are a new shifters for the new style bar. Outside possibility of old school down tube shifters or even a stem shifter. I've got both that are new old stock. But most...

So I got this shipped to me yesterday. And have it on my stand and half apart to just clean it up and repack everything. It will be converted to my new daily ride so I can work on the Trek for the build. It's usually Unnecessarily difficult and generally a huge waste of time since anything you...

Very nice, I've tried getting a couple different ones and keep just missing the mark.

I have a set of fat tire fenders on the way and I'm planning on a shield for the down tub as well. I'll figure that out after I get the fenders on the bike.

We are having warmer weather then normal here in northern Iowa. Most of the snow is melted. So I've been able to ride my 57 Huffy. A few more times then I thought I'd be able to. Took it for a run across town earlier today. Got a little mud on it. Early this morning I went for my 1st ride on...

So we've had some nice weather the last few days and have a couple more forecasted. So I pulled the back half of Tail Gunner out and hooked it up for the 1st time. I mostly like it. It will need to be painted. It rides a bit closer then I had pictured. Anyway the handlebars that came with it are...

Do feel better. And the old job that was 12 miles away I would shower at work. The new job is only a mile away at a gas station so I don't show up needing a shower.

That's awesome. And it's helped me drop and keep off 135lbs and after the 1st 3 months I no longer needed the blood pressure medication I had been on. Added bonus. Over the last 2 summers folks in the small town I'm in now have seen me all over the place on my bike and decided to dust their...

I had never heard of them, but I really like unique and or limited edition or production items. Been racking my brain to see if I know someone that knows someone in that area. But I don't think so. I'm waiting for a message back from that location to see if they allow and or can recommend a...

This is on auction on Shopgoodwill.com and is a local pickup only for the Tucson Arizona area. 1 day and half left. If I knew anyone around there, I'd be bidding. https://shopgoodwill.com/item/189901730

I've been thinking about the paint for this one. I'm leaning towards a bright multi-color scheme kind of a throwback to some of the vintage road or track bikes. Kinda burned out on the flat or matte black. Haven't found one that has jumped out at me yet, but still looking. A few examples I've...

Thanks for the info. No to do some research on both options.

Got the new wheels and tires on it to see how they look before I take the whole thing apart. I've decided to paint it, but still deciding on color or colors. This was my daily rider 7 months a year for 4 years. Rode 12 miles one way to work 5 days a week rain or shine and more miles per day on...

I picked up this 26" NOS Bionx D series motor. I understand they went out of business. Wondering how much of a pain it would be to get this to work without the rest of the Bionx system or if it's even worth the hassle. I wanted to use it as a front wheel for a trike project, it's obviously a...
