You and I could probably keep Halter's going all by ourselves if we didn't have other responsibilities holding us back...
:rofl::rofl:...i wanted to let you know that I appreciate the fork input earlier in this thread...I'm interested in knowing how the small bump compliance is after you have dialed it in...I won't be using it for a while, my build is held up by a pair of brakes that aren't available yet
Awesome man...You have me all fired up to get on mine.So is it true about the maxle?Stiff Stiff Stiff.After flipping the stem did you go to 120mm?
It is like the fork ate a whole bottle of ******
I'm running 100mm still...flipped the stem and raised it a little.
Edit: Hey! When did we start ** out stuff?!!! For the record, it was v-i-a-g-r-a.
Holy crap I'm so jealous of your ease-of-access to get outside from your workspace.
Nice color bike, BTW.
Heh, heh, we rarely even use that door. I usually take my bike out another door in my basement through the garage. When I do drive-way test rides after tweaking something I leave the door and the garage door open and just ride in and out of the basement.
I have an unheated shed, with no electricity. I also have a basement which is accessible only from the back door down the carpeted steps. So I only bring the bikes down for major things, usually in pieces (wheel, wheel, frame). Then when I bring it back it's reasonably clean and I don't need to worry as much about the mess.
My road bike is a mess right now, though I'm sure it pales in comparison to what the guys at Mercer have to show for the weekend.
Bummer, Norm. I guess there are a few advantages to this overgrown POS I call a house after all...
Once my daughter gets old enough to spend some QT with me/bike and not immediately grab my chain and cassette, I may look to run some electricity out there and maybe throw in a old wood stove. Every year I get approximately 64 tons of branches in the yard so we always have enough wood to burn.
The things we do for love...I feel your pain. The last car I did a frame-off on ('69 Z/28) I did most of it in a garage w/o electricity...and this is when I was living in Minnesota! I couldn't even run an extension cord to the garage...it was too far away from my townhouse.
I had a car battery that I'd charge up and 12v flood lights + insulated over-alls. It was brutal...

I have many fond memories of freezing my ass off on garage floors in the winter. Wish I still had the time and money to play with cars, though I was never even close to being as serious as you.
