Weird bike building minds think alike! This was a few weeks back:
For whatever reason, the head set on Interrobang had to be readjusted, so I've road it a few times to make sure I got it. Today, I took it on a "successfully adjusted" ride on the Windham, NH rail trail. To prove it was once a railway, I guess:
The ride goes by all kinds of nice scenery, but I could hear the approach of a large expense of kids (I believe "expense" is the collective term for a group of kids) that I had already passed and didn't want to get caught up in it again like Gulliver in Lilliput, so I didn't get a great shot of this pond. Kids like this bike, but I don't have the heart to tell them it looks cool and has some unique attributes, like the dial shifter (cue Joerg Sprave, "Let me show you its features!"), but is actually pretty terrible—rides fairly comfortably, but it feels every pound that it is and the frame is as flexible as a ballerina, but in a bad way.
Anyway, I could hear the words of the chill artist, Mr. Robert Ross, echoing in my head: "Maybe there's a squirrel living in your happy tree."
"Can it be an unhappy squirrel getting plucked off a branch by a redtail hawk?"
"It's your world, it can be anything you want."
"Thanks, Bob, you're swell!"

Rode it to work today.
Everyone at the shop got a kick out of my plate.

I was riding my Schwinn Collegiate the most but I have switched to the Sun EZ3 as my go to bike. The red Desoto Classic trike was my daily rider at work but no more. I probably have more miles on my silver MASA Slingshot than any bike I currently own.

Was on my black straight bar, with the Mrs on the cyclepro over the weekend
Rode this Ruff Smyinz with the guy I bought it from for about 4-5 hours yesterday all over Charleston, SC.
But before the Charleston ride, I've been riding Holeshot
5 minutes ago. Cruisin' the lakefront with the Chicago Taildraggers.

Well I took Harlequin back up to the city Sunday (today) and crashed it into a viaduct wall when a weld broke and the nut came off the shaft of the steering column leaving the wheel in my hand!
So after repairs failed we loaded it up and my friend @Pookie42 let me use his X-53

Ha! Loaded the truck last Monday morning, before I left for New York City, thought I would take the Super Twin Rat to the Hamb Drags this year! Not getting home till yesterday afternoon took care of that! Only thing left to do now! Unload!
Iverson Drag Stripper. Took it on our weekly Retro-Ride in Hagerstown, MD.
Rode the Aztec Jaguar at Critical Mass this last Friday.
The new shifter worked flawlessly.
Amazing when you put a shimano shifter with a shimano hub. Duh...
