    Am I Missing Something?????

    Ok I'm trying to get a newly aquired tandem going (thanks tlaing1) anyway the only real problem is the chain tensioner doesn't sit tight. It's a bolt through a pulley with a square block and a nut on the other side. I'm assuming the block was threaded at one time and the nut was added later (it...

    so i'm gonna enter once again. I've had this frame laying around for about 3yrs and havn't done a thing with it. I think i finally have the right combination of parts to finish it. it's an off brand convertible that i've used most of the parts off of for other projects just couldn't get rid of...

    so what driving to work today.....

    and came across this lil beauty. It's an old 20" rollfast with some kinda funky bolt on trike kit. I CAN'T WAIT to jump into this one. I'm def gonna swap out the frame but not sure with what yet we'll see

I lost 2 days on it being i woke up 1:30 in the am with flash burn in the left eye (if you haven't had it happen to...

    Build of tall bike 4.0 and "double Trouble"

    yea it's gonna be a full tandem, the swing bike idea crossed my mind when i was trying to get it to stand up for the picture so i think i may try that with a couple old BMX's or something. as for the handles bars havn't decided if i'm going to attach the goosneck to the seat post or weld right...

    Build of tall bike 4.0 and "double Trouble"

    so i fell in love with tall bikeing (even though i took a spill tonight) and i'm building another one. This time double stacked. I also have a problem where my 4th grader is allowed to ride his bike to school but my second grader is not (some weird Hitler rules the school has) so that's where...

So maybe tomorrow i'll get that and the seat post done. I'm eager to finish this cause i havn't built a muscle bike in so loooong. The paint may be...
