    Apple Cider Special

    It’s alive! I upgraded the indicator chain to a newer Sachs clamp style. The vintage cable connectors have a tendency to bend. New headlight arrived and is super bright but proportionally too small. The internals didn’t fit in the old one...infuriatingly close, would not latch. I stuck it below...

    Late 80's Nishiki rebuild DONE!

    Mine is a Colorado. One of the Taiwan built Richard Cunningham designs. Too big for me but a nice bike.

    FASTBAXI

    Got this ‘74 Fastback frame pretty much free with the purchase of a Stingray. Going for as cheap a build as possible. Quickly becoming a favorite. Was going the BMX route but it keeps working out muscle bike style. Not sure if the tank stays or not. I do think the rear tire needs to be beefier...

    Sweet! The Fairlady is the Maybe Something then. Paint soon.

    Busted the bent wire loop connector on the adjuster for the indicator chain. Admittedly the cable chain is wandering as I hunt for the right clamps so I can ditch zip tie city. Looking for a more robust solution. Anyone know if the later SRAM indicator chain threads are the same for all Torpedo...

    CCM CHALLENGER

    Great looking bike! That frame really lends itself to the staggered wheels. What’s that white seat with the cafe racer vibe? Digging that!

    Drift trike diversion...

    Stupid fun! Purple/blue fade over silver. May or may not get clear...depends on how impatient we get.

    Awesome bike! That tire combo gives it a real can do attitude.

    Maybe Something!

    Hi yo silver! This saddle is overstuffed and sized better...gonna need it. I made a choice to spend nothing on this bike. My experiment is to just use stuff that I have or was intended for the other bike that didn’t work out. I stitched together the chain from a rusty chain and a far more rusty...

    Not sure if the ‘naner stays but these bars were the most stable. Nimble little guy, tires pumped to 80 and it rolls better than most in the stable.

    Well, plans change. Jumpin fast back, it’s a gas! Too much fun! Just needs new pedals and bit o rust remover.

    Thanks for stepping in CRASH! A push back would certainly help. I’ve not seen supply chain delays like these in my 18 years in shipping/receiving...I’m not going to complain, 2020, I know how nuts distribution is in a regular holiday/return season. I’ve tried to limit my ordering and use slower...

    Apple Cider Special

    Been riding it since a couple days before Xmas. Kids got drift trikes...one of which went the wrong way around and clipped the front wheel of my parked bike, pulling it down & chipping the top tube paint with the truss mount...narrowly missed the shifter...some rash on the apes. :doh: The money...

    The Meters, everything by The Meters. Saw bassist George Porter Jr play once in New Orleans. His guitar player told me the story behind this one was they were going to the studio and their car had a cylinder that kept missing...so they wrote this on the way and recorded it as soon as they arrived.
