    New project...BF Goodrich Challenger

    Hand-made tools and Cheap secrets

    I used a hitch off an old department store trailer to hook it to the bike I bolted two chunks of C-channel aluminum to the trailer then used two front wheels for the axels. Sadly, the trailer got broke after one too many cans got taken out of it while riding around the beach.....if you catch...

    How long can you get away with having a bike in the house?

    I'm allowed to keep them all in the basement, but thats because it's unfinished. When it is, my storage and repair area are scheduled to become a library......or something. :roll:

    End Table Idea

    So we finally go all moved into the new house and the boss decided we need new nightstands. She actually WANTS me to make them out of bike junk. Heck yeah I'm jumping at this opportunity. Found this pic and decided to share it. Anyone have any other furniture they've made out of bike stuff?

    What triggered your bicycle revival?

    Was big into bikes as a kid,then like most guys I got out of it when I got a car. Few years ago, some dumb girl dumped me, and I started hanging out with some genuine RRB'ers and got back into it to keep my head on straight. Now I have more bikes than my fiancee likes to admit, I work at a LBS...

    Repair Stands

    Feedback every time. Feedback started out making tripods for speakers, and still do make tripods for speakers. $40,000 sound systems use their stuff. I've compared Feedback and Park stands. Tried them both. For about the same price, I'd reccomend the feedback over the park every time

    Snow biking

    Got lucky and found a used "snowjack" at the goodwill. Hacked up the bracketry and bolted it up to a 20" Huffy It's getting swapped to an old multigear ladies frame soon. Easier to get traction, and safer for the manly stuff :lol:

    Re: Electrolysis ICE! 22Deg. Done for now Sweet! I snagged an old plastic barrel that I was going to give the wifey as a housewarming present for her garden. Looks like I'll be looking for another present for her :mrgreen:

    Hand-made tools and Cheap secrets

    Lets face it. Most of us are on a budget. Most of us are pretty handy. Most of us would rather build a jog or tool for $300 over spending $100 for something that would do the same thing. Its what we do. I want to see Whatever tools you've made to work on bikes. I want to see all the little...

    Really Should Not have Tried To Steal This Bike

    I'd do the same to anyone who tried to nab one of mine. My high dollar commuter has a makeshift bat tucked into the front bag for a few reasons. :wink:
