Haha brother, I'm up here in the corn belt. It's all flatlands. Best hill I could come up with within riding distance is a little trail down to the river which I won't be riding this on anyway, or a run over to a highway overpass. Weeeeee!
Sometimes suggestions miss the point, like the tiller bars miss that it's a T-Bucket and needs the vertical steering.As my Shakesbeerean friend would say:
"That's cooler than dangit!"
Looks great Carl! This is a parade bike for sure. I'm still kind of feeling some low, long exhaust pipes emanating from the rear BB shell....you know, give the bike that 'long drawn out look'.
Because it doesn't have that at all right now....
Other times suggestions get my mind wandering and thinking about how I can incorporate the ideas into the dreams I already have for this bike.
Dude... I rarely say that word, but dude. That's gonna be awesome.Sometimes suggestions miss the point, like the tiller bars miss that it's a T-Bucket and needs the vertical steering.
Ever see one of those little plastic horns that you could set your phone into and project the sound from? Ever see those vertical pipes on the back of a semi? What about the bluetooth speakers I was thinking of putting in the shells? How am I going to bend the tubes to go from the shells to up behind my rack, to end behind my head so that I can hear the tunes and look like exhaust pipes?
Thanks for the idea brother. Now I got my head spinning around with "how to's"...

That's "Mr Job" to you Glen....I'm usually not a big fan of fake exhaust pipes on a bicycle, but Mr Job's onto something
Many a T bucket has chrome (or not chrome) 'header' pipes or 'lakes' pipes. So what about something like this...

I think that's what OddJob is suggesting and I second it.
Should be easy-peasy for a man of your substantial talents
JK!
But I did get a little done to the Harlequin T.
Or you could go crazy and do away with hand steering all together.
Funny, I thought the same thing!
Here's another thought for you: What if you increase the cog size by a couple of teeth on the front? That will temper the quick steering and might eliminate the half link at the same time. If you're lucky you might hit just the right tension on the chain also.
