Here is what I'm listening to. My favorite banjo player has passed. Ben Eldridge passed on the 14th at age 85. He was a founding member of the contemporary bluegrass band the Seldom Scene. In this clip Big Train to Memphis, Ben is often out of the footage, stage left. It seems somehow...

Sold the Canal Crawler yesterday. It now resides on The Gulf Coast's Pine Island.

This one was actually on Garbage Day, but on Market Place. An Electra, Towne 3S. Three speed coaster with a suspension fork. Got it for $20. All the shift linkage is toast. However, if I manually move the hub with the shift rod it transitions smoothly through all the gears. I think there is...

Ha, ha, the guy that works on my security alarm (needful in Florida), saw it on my work bench and basically said the same thing.

Couple of new items I should have added to my shop long ago. A 8 x 11" plastic grid that holds 158 1/4" drive hex bits. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07V5KQSVH/ref=sspa_mw_detail_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9kZXRhaWw Thread identifier, male and female thread sizer for metric...

You know that's somebody from here photo bombing the Tour de France.

Ulu you're a renaissance man. You always just go for it and tackle problems making discoveries along the way. I admire your skill and tenacity.👍

They put ours under lock and key because idiots sprayed it all over the shelves.

I sold this bike over the weekend. The buyer motorized it and sent me a picture. I don't know anything about motorized bikes.

Nice find.

Another of the Michigan Mad Man.

Tried lowering the saddle, also trying some nearly flat bars. Not sure if it looks better, it would need a smaller rider. Have the Moon tank mount finalized and added a braided "fuel line" Also made a more to scale fuel cap.

I will not be riding this, I'm really starting to think it needs straight bars, and a lower seat. That will probably mean a parachute relocation.

Wheelie bars finished. Repurposed some of the ss tubing truss rods I made, which I now used for bracing. Cut off the beveled ends I had ground which were dangerous. Made an axle, threaded on both ends for acorn nuts. Painted it silver instead of black because I don't know how many times I've...

Wheelie bars coming along. The twin bar stepthrough made a good source for the bars. I cleaned up the drop outs removing a lot of excess stock. Carefully measured and installed a 2" x 3/4" tire. I'll be shimming it with 2 washers. Here's how it is coming. I lined up a fender mount hole...

You're right, the vibrating is called "wheel hop" and traction bars try to reduce or eliminate it.

Not bikes per se' but it sure applies to rat rodders.
