Re: honey badger- dog bones!
i saw some BELL bow pedals at wally world a few months ago and put 'em in my memory bank to go back to get 'em.
well i kinda forgot until yesterday.
i went to wal*mart and there was only 1 pair left.
the package had been cut open and stapled back together. i didnt care i just wanted some kinda cool & kinda cheap pedals.
they were listed for $9.99
when the lady rung me up they came out to 3 clams :shock:
yeah, i think they'll be fine

Re: honey badger- dog bones!
WOW! Great deal on the pedals, they like VERY similar to the ones that Electra sells for $20
From the Electra store:
Great looking bike, keep it going.

Re: honey badger- saddle change
i know that hairpin sprung saddle was the genisis of this build, but i really couldnt find a spot to mount it that was comfy.
even w, the 90* post :x
so i dug in my "good" parts pile and yanked this leather sprung saddle i took off a late 40s schwinn.
looks cool and feels better.
i could be done w. this bike in about an hour just to dial in stuff, but i'm still kickin' around the idea of makin' a tank for it. i still got a month, right?

Re: honey badger- saddle change
the other seat went much better with the rest of the bike especially with bhow you made the frontend.
just my opinion .
maybe those certain seats just need wear in time for comfort?

Re: honey badger- saddle change
I tend to agree. You can always use the big saddle for the BO and then change for comfort afterwards.

Re: honey badger- saddle change
Ok first, the 90 degree seatpost has a pretty weld! I need one on my bike.
Second, I like the saddle you just put on, I like how it sits good and level, something I look for on a bike, I am turned off by a saddle tilted forward or back.

this bad boy is done.
i'll take and post some finished pix tonight.
i made a "tank" this weekend. cut it out and drilled it fri nite.painted it sat. and laced it up sunday.
sorry i didnt take more in progress pix. the originals were to blurry and when i was paintin it i didnt think to take pix.
it's my first lace paint so it aint perfect. i layed the lace coat on a little heavy. i was in a little rush because it looked like rain :lol:
i cut a pattern out of balsa wood and transfered it to some thicker wood.

I passed through your neck of the woods a couple times last week (travelling NC to PA) and kept my eyes open for your van. :mrgreen:
