And now...the Story Of Locomotive Breath! (in the vein of the Pickle crate, etc... :lol: )
I was rooting around some family heirlooms (AKA junk) when I found this interesting looking old book...

Even more interesting was what was insides the book...

story3.jpg

Gadzooks! Plans for a bicycle! I knew I had to build it right then and there...
even more digging turned up an old movie, which I present to you here...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L7fjw7p9 ... e=youtu.be
Here are some pictures of the completed bike, as best as I could reproduce it...

Sadly no. Whenever I hit a pothole the sprocket became a projectile, so it was left off of the final version.
