The Schwinn/Whizzer Work Gang Scores Two Victories.
By Ray Spangler
Although Joe Cargola was down with covid our second-rate (bench) team mastered a frame spreading challenge. Lacking a beefy frame spreader for this extra thick frame, they had to resort to the caveman technique of twisting ropes between posts. Just as both ropes broke, the five-inch brake and adjusters were slid into place without a single old guy bathroom break stalling the project. With all hands needed for success, the project lacked a cheerleading team and pom poms. The Illinois team had to settle for this gloating photo op. The young muscles of David (top right) and Tom Jr (right) came in handy. Al Toth, Bill Kavc and Tom Senior are smiling like baby racoons eating peanut brittle, but coronating all the parts at once, was tedious. Now the build can continue.
The echo tube pipe experiment was also a success after a wider electrical conduit bender was located. At least two club members have had experience with adjusting an echo tube by gently bending the tube between two trees.
