I like it, but is that how the fork supposed to be?

To be frank, you’ve been rocking it for a loooong minute. Tons of respect from me for what’s it’s worth

Good to know. Will search more diligently in the future. Honestly not a “weight weenie” per se, but you just can’t prop your steed on random things all of the time.

The fact that you could still buy one from a shop is a nearly miraculous feat. I’d have to source one from salvaging or web surfing.

I know this is an old thread and frankly I’m doing some research, but that turn of phrase just made me spit out my beverage….bravo 🤣

That sounds like an awesome idea (the last sentence, that is) I’ve got some parts and an idea that’s been in my head for a few weeks now. This will literally be from the ground up. But I’m going to just wait for the next start date 😏

Wait, if you’re where I think you are I can imagine the market there being competitive. The cycling culture there has been established for decades as well as the kustom auto kulture.

Went out for a ride last night.

Well deserved.

I dunno, I guess I’ve been lucky here. I’ve gotten a Takarav12-speed, a ‘93 Schwinn Hurricane (that I nodded), a ‘72 Raleigh Sprite among others. I guess it depends on the market and how much of a persnickety picker one can be…😀

It was a pleasure. I can’t wait for the next. Congratulations once more on some mind boggling examples of functional art. One love

Given the collaborations that have been going on between American and non-American companies “Made in the U.S.A.” is more of a slogan than anything. For example I’ve an ‘82 Schwinn Traveler with a Chicago badge…..that was made in Taiwan (Republic of China) by Giant. Either way it’s one of my...

Is lovelylowrider.com still a thing? I know bicycledesigner is still around but a lot of their inventory is sold out. I’d try the local FleaBay I mean EvilBay I mean EBay…

I’ve got a friend that lets me know when the thrift store near his house has some sweet deals (he sort of knows my various tastes). As a matter of fact, I feel obligated to build him a bike due to some of the sweet scores that I’ve acquired…

Grocery getters can be fun….😉. My personal fave to tweak, be it motorized or not.😁

The mobile service would be a supplemental/event item. It would be great advertising. I’d like to do a brick and mortar due to it being in one place that everyone can locate at all times. I’m in what I’d call a small city so familiarity with locations would be beneficial in my case. But as of...

Isn’t that the truth…

That’s an idea that I’ve not considered. There are co-ops and shops in my metro area. There’s even an established bicycle/motorcycle/lawn mower/motor scooter repair shop not too far from the location that I have been watching. I get that ultimately being in a capitalist society one would have to...

To quote Homer Simpson….,”D-oh!”. Should have seen that…

I’m glad I’m not the only one that has considered such an idea. I see places that are small and vacant all of the time that would be perfect for the community surrounding it.
