It is official! We have entered the "Busy Season"! Had to spend some time rearranging the shop to enable us to have a walking path for the sake of all the repairs coming in! A blesses happenstance I assure you! And our deepest levels of appreciation for all the faith and trust you folks have extended us! Put out two GORGEOUS gems yesterday! A classic Raleigh Road bike and a new 2013 Giant Escape! Then spent the better part of yesterday keeping up with repairs. Sent the beautiful Giant Cypress DX home with a very happy gent yesterday and got two Schwinn folding bike in on trade for the deal! Theses two are twins and in perfect condition! Just need some wheel work (manufacturer defects) and they'll be on the floor!
A very special shout out and HUGE thanks to Uncle Chippie! He completed the loving re purposing of my classic Puch into an equally classic three wheeled shop trike! And yes, it is authentically vintage, as the components for the rear end came off a vintage trike as well! Check out the finished project below, pictured with it's proud owner and equally proud creator!
hint; the creator is the svelte fellow standing next to the gelatinous, scruffy looking blob.
Alright! I need to be off! See ya soon!

Steven-
ReplyDeleteAll right, no more excuses: GO RIDE YER TRIKE!!!
And remember to always put your weight on the inside pedal in a turn.
HEH! If I put ALL my weight on it, it'll break!!
ReplyDeleteBe judicious, my friend.
ReplyDeleteBut do keep in mind that this trike is probably considerably faster than the usual run-of-the-mill trailer park ride, with the possible exception of Miley Cyrus. (Sorry. Couldn't resist.) You've got much higher pressure, low profile tires and three speeds to play with. (And only ONE brake!)
It was a fun thing to do and a great challenge. Can't wait to find out if it actually works! (Again, just like Miley Cyrus.)
