LocoJoe's Recent Rides

[Nagant]

It's a Murray that I chopped up. I cut out the seat and top tubes. I then put the top tube in place of the seat tube and bent a piece of conduit to use as the top tube. Here's a pic when I first did it.

and another incarnation of it.

I have wondered how you modified the top tube. It really looks great and I like the patina job you did to it as well.

Re: LocoJoe's Most Recent Ride (High Trestle Trail)

Okay... last stop Iowa and the High Trestle Trail. What a great trail and bridge! First night there we rode the 3 miles out to the bridge to see it lit up. The next morning we went back to the trail head and rode the entire trail out and back for a total of 53 miles. on the way back we stopped at a neat bar right on the trail the Flat Tire Lounge for a few beverages.

I should have a video of the bridge at night soon.

Here is a video about how the FlatTire Lounge benefits from the trail.

Thanks!

This was my build off 7 bike. It's been through some changes since then. Build thread http://www.ratrodbikes.com/forum/index.php?threads/uncle-touchys-back-roads-bomber-finished.59792/

How it looks now. Those are Thompson seat and grips btw.

Thanks! I've always loved the paint scheme on this bike and want to bookmark it for inspiration.

Cheers bud,

Randy, your photos are always so good with your great eye and photo enhancements. I really like that you show not just events, but normal everyday riding.

Was there a complete bike in the back of the car? If so what was it?

Nope just the sprocket that the crank arm was attached to.
