Free find today. Now to figure out what to do with it.

Had to take a screenshot of a picture to be able to post this, but whatever works.

So the piston will lift 60# and has a 4.5 inch travel. After 60# it needed a nudge, so I think 58 is a good number to consider. I know the weight of the rear swing arm with everything attached is going to be around that. I weighed the motor/wheel, and old set of 3 12v ebike batteries, a red...

Bike only has to rise 4 inches. The piston is about 6. I'll dig into after work.

That helps. I'll see if the paperwork for the chair mentions anything about capacity.

That's what my initial thought was. But I'm having trouble "seeing" it, even with this picture. Still drawing a blank. If I still drank, I'd have a beer and ponder...

So. I had this idea to use an office chair lift to make something like hydraulics for this bike. In my head, I wanted the seat at ride height to be where it sits lowered. But stepping back to look at it, the raised height isn't so bad. Now I just have to figure out how to connect that piston to...

I take it the chalk doesn't just wipe off?

I've been hanging around this place since build off 11. I've never seen you take a bad picture. Were/are you feeling ok?

Thanks everyone for the thoughts. I know she'll be fine, she's very strong and diseases fear her. (Drove school bus 26 years.) She's just a bit sick and exhausted from the treatment, it's almost over too. But doc said she'd be sick a few weeks, so just taking it all in stride. @Son of Kradus...

I'm out. Wife getting sick from Chemo/radiation, making the drive to the hospital is too much for her lately. Temporarily living in a different city, so can't finish this one. Good luck to everyone who finishes.

Silver leaf?

It's a roof mount front wheel carrier bike rack, with mediocre (at best) ratings. Should be fine to use it, as long as it's not used as intended.

Baskets are for this build. Trailer is for one I called Mercury Rising several years ago. Don't worry. All the accessories are still going on this year. Just not much time to work on it for a few weeks. Might be a last 10 day crunch to finish.

Here's the trailer I'm working on for my dog. She was trained well when we adopted her, but she won't walk next to a bike. She tries to get on. So, I figured let's try to haul her. Haven't tried yet, just wanted to test how the trailer pulled. Forgot this bike has no chain, so I just rolled down...

Thanks. I'll get back to it eventually, right now I'm building a trailer for the dog. Retirement hasn't gone quite as planned yet. Once Janet finishes radiation treatment we'll get to it. But she also wants to go back to work one more year, so next spring we're completely done. Should have a...

Maybe flip it around?

Thanks. The wood buck and wax method works well, but it's messy. Have a lot of sanding and body work to do. But it'll get there. Actually looking forward to getting it to one solid color, so I can figure out how I want to paint it.

I don't remember what kind of clear coat I used on this frame for its previous build off, but the paint stripper didn't touch it. Had to use wire wheel and paper to get the little bit I got removed of the darts. Stripper didn't do much damage to that old schwinn fender either, just took off the...

Granddaughter number 1 would love that. She just recently started teaching herself violin, she's doing well so far. Always had an ear for music. I think this is instrument number 5 for her. Anyway. Gonna show her this video, see what she thinks.
