What bike did you work on today?

They really ought to tell ya how easy it is to wheelie those things! Then of course, yours decided to fall apart before we got too injured!

A little wrenching after you left and the skinny war horse can wheelie to Canada and back.

Spent the last few weeks dialing in this Motorbike @bobcycles restored 20 or so years ago. It’s a double drum brake pain in the a$$. I added an interior tank light for fun.

I have been slowly getting the old Emblem finished with some detailing.

I installed the seat on JC Piggins while getting this pig back together for the Muscle Bike Buildoff to finally try out the ridiculous bars. I really like them & may not even try others in the pile. Just find a stem that fits the steer tube better & clamps tight on the bars. I really like the stem in the mock up because it puts the bar loooow & has a wide clamp. Just to small to fit tight in the steer tube to be safe. Getting close to being finished.

Then, being a bikaholic, got distracted & gave in to temptation I've resisted for a month. FINALLY found a home for the valve caps that have been taking up space on my pegboard for several years.

I thought the valve caps were wire nuts!!

That's awesome Eric!
Please let us know what you think of that Framed bike...

Thanks Lars! I've read good things about it's performance being on par with bikes 4/more times the cost. Was on CL. The guy had 2 shipped, built one up & gave it to his son & kept this for a while. Can't beat N.I.B. for $200 (Black Sabbath wrote a song about it!) or build something for that kind of money. First impressions: serviceable welds & feels solid. Some parts are lower quality as you'd expect for a budget type bike but parts that usually end up being swapped out any way. Fairly light weight being 6061 aluminum. Great for getting going with something like this! Will set up & run it this way, out of the box with some tuning for optimal performance for a while to get used to it but have a couple changes in mind to reflect my time in the Air Force. It's about time to learn to wheelie & stuff although I was very successful racing XC MTB. I've always been about getting to the finish line first in any bike. Tricks are for kids! Lol!

That's funny @ian !! Sorry for the poor pics. I certainly see your confusion. They are actually nicely machined aluminum tiny bombs! It was dark & orange background makes my camera goofy. Makes the green much brighter too. It's a nice Army green actually. Will get some pics in good light to share in the Sunday Show & Tell.
