Loopy He-Man aka: Sprocket and Hubs

[yoothgeye]

There’s nothing else I can do with this bike but ride it, and I just rode it all over town and I love this thing, and I hope you do too. This bike started life as a Jamis Explorer 5 speed and I went in a late 80s early 90s BMX direction with it. The bike is dialed and I love it.

Just checked my route (I have an app where you can draw your route after a ride instead of relying on live GPS data) and I rode over 10 miles this morning.

Thanks to @kingfish254 for the Sprocket and Hubs name.

Thank you. I’ve built both, but I’d rather ride than just look at it, no matter how cool it looks…

Flashy, tight, cohesive build! And a great rider to boot; what more could you ask for?!

I like this setting , cropped, for a final photo.

Thank you. Last year I sold my build-off bike because I wasn’t thrilled with it, but this one, I know is staying in the collection.

Thanks. After a few years building for this build-off I just started using the competition as motivation to build more than a desire to compete.

Yeah for me that's exactly the same

Youthgeye, for the win!

Youthgeye, for the win!

Here’s to hoping! Haha maybe I should take a photo of the rust on the seat post or the rust in the stem bolt.

Naw, what I meant was that by building a bike to ride and keep and maybe love, you've already won. But votes are nice too!

That’s what I do. I keep telling myself I’m done building bikes then this build off happens

Hangin’ with the boys today.

I see that : the
S-10 is still around.

Yep, most dependable vehicle I own. I’ve been working on the 1947 Chevy some today, once I have it running and right I worry about the fate of the S-10
