[Hooch]

Both of you guys......awesome. Whats that thing weigh anyway 8) That thing is massive. You Tube Miller? He comes to the Cape to the Melody Tent with it's rotating stage with an awesome show everytime........but when it comes down to it, the late Norton Buffalo did a heck of better job of it with Roy Rodgers on the " Travellin' Tracks " CD they put out. Great version of the Mercury Blues. 8)
.....Mercury Blues ........sounds good Hooch!

mine weighed in at 3.47 pounds
in comparison a Crumpton Corsa M full carbon road bike frame weighs 826 grams or 1.82 lbs lol or like 7.2lbs ready to ride!

 

[dogdart]

7.2 pounds :?: :?: most of my bikes are 8 or 9 times that :shock:

 

[Hooch]

@ $4,800 for the frame, fork, headset and PressFit 30 bearings, by the time you add the rest of the parts the pile of $100 bills probably weighs more than the bike lol

Something like this Hooch?
with the full fenders or full sideskirts (I don't how they're called exactly)?

And their car.....though not a Mercury still the ultimate sled.

 

[Hooch]

great version Clancy!

I havent quite figured out how I will be doing this yet but I have some ideas

 

[Hooch]

well I found the bones of this build now
a 1940s Dayton 24" womens
I will be stuffing these 26" x 1 3/8 wheels in it so it looks super hammered
time to stretch it to 7 foot plus!

This is gonna be cool.

 

[Hooch]

This is gonna be cool.

thanks Clancy with the combination of my health and being busy with other stuff its hard to keep on top of things anymore and I want to build something wild and different

Don' t worry. I am healthy and have had a hard time playing with bikes lately. The skiing thing has been getting me down.

 

[Hooch]
