The pump track on this:

Different grips and new tires. Those Typhoon Brick tires rode like bricks compared to these new shoes. They ride a little wide on the 1.75s, so a new wheelset with 1.5s is forthcoming.

Neighbor youngster who's dad bought this bike for him and I went out to ride some dirt today, clinic style.

He's a quick study and figured out a few of the advanced tenets already, stoked about speed. I had the Big Orange Machine and cut loose a bit after getting him dialed in to a point. Catching him took more time as the ride progressed.

Cruisin around last night.

The wheels going on it are done, now just waiting on new brake shoes before installing them.

That's nice!

Winter here in Brisbane now - temps have plummeted to 21c/70f.
Just right for what I built this bike for - a 'Jungle' run with the dawg.

Out cruising on the Eldorado. Rides just like a land yacht should on the low pressure tyres. Happened to come across another type of yacht named Texas.

Stunning Autumn day in Melbourne for a ride along the Yarra River trail on the Red Menace. I recently fitted a pair of S&M Speedball tires and I must say they are incredible. 110psi rated! I pumped them to 85psi and they still ride great but the bike rolls so much faster. There's also little flex when you're standing on it.

The first 3 photos are of the Melbourne Docklands precinct. A bit over 20 years ago when I moved nearby, none of this existed. The area housed disused customs sheds (like the one in the third photo) and paved bluestone rides. I wish it was still like that, but some would call it progress.

In the last photo you can see the heritage listed vinegar girl sign in the background.

Been lazy since I got my vw, but yesterday I finally got a ride in on my Electra. Did some fishing and caught a ton of shiner perch. It was a good ride.

I finished my first build yesterday; after a year and a half of collecting parts, trial and error’s, wrong parts or bad parts bought on eBay; my 1952 Straight Bar is complete. I took it out this morning for the first ride, It rides like a classic Cadillac, Heavy and Smooth!
It still needs some fine tuning, but WOW….. what a ride I couldn’t stop smiling

Took this for a quick spin after airing the tires. About two maybe three minutes and your legs are done. It's a workout for sure. Can you see why?

GC.

If you can’t use the smaller ring in front I’d look for a bigger cog.
so how does a full suspension single speed ride?

 

[Palepainter]

I have been giving this single a lot of uphill riding. Geared pretty low, but great cardio.

That’s a cool frame.

That’s a cool frame.

It is. I’m not sure of manufacturer. But it took the big balloons with no issues. It’s a bit tall for me, but a great ride. I found another locally complete. May have to snag it.

Looks very similar to a Worksman M2600

I think yours has different dropouts though
