Like his camera much better LOL.

Deciding what Im building next now.
May build his wolf next he is still debating, Especially after he rode mine today, with the pedals lowered.
He is wanting one so bad.
Or may build a spin cycle for his son.
Got a shop now to work from so Im hoping this next project goes faster.

May move that derailler tube onto the top of the bottom bracket.
Seems to function this way but I think it would perform better and look better if I had just welded a plate to top of bottom bracket.
Would of made it non removable, but still able to slide.
No actually thinking about it. It would not slide. Because it would not loosen with a plate welded to the top.

Guess I did it right first time LOL.

Will keep you advised.

I have my BB under the boom on my tadpole. It's only using one chain ring so I don't use a derailler. However, and it may have been dicussed in the Loderunner threads, if I decide to use a single chain, I would mount a plate to the BB, a tad shorter than the BB and 1 inch wider, and drill holes in the corners. Then I'd weld a derailler tube to a plate the same size, with holes in the same locations, and use U bolts to hold them together. That gives basically one unit that can slide forward and aft and clamps to the boom.

I will make mine over later maybe.
I thought about making the one sit over the top on it's own plate.
And running bolts through both plates just didn't do it .

I was getting frustrated and wanted it done LOL.

What happened to the powdercoating?

[gbbwolf]

That krylon paint walmart sells for 3 bucks a can.

Found someone to powder coat it for 50 bucks straight purple.
Or for 70 bucks he will do whole thing in chrome finish looking powder coat,then bake, then put Purple over the top of it.

It glows in sunlight and looks way cool that way.

But I got 10 bucks left in bike fund, so that may be a nice idea for winter.

Got offered A van for my wolf today.
Nice van but I had to laugh, He was kinda mad at me laughing.
Then I told him I could use the van and wasn't laughing at that,
It was just the idea that I built this to get exercise, and that would defeat the purpose.

Told him it wasn't too hard to build his own and gave him the website info.

I may wish I had traded him this winter though when IM freezing my buns off riding around.

Is tight I need to make something from these junks bike parts, that I got
but I have no plans for anything simple.

May try to "roll my own" spincycle or tourmaster out, then I can get by with no expense and maybe make enough,when I sell it, to coat it, and start another project.

I got plenty of bike tube's and one piece cranks to make something.

Any Ideas.

First, get a bunch of paper and a lot of pencils with erasers. Then start drawing. Next, find the designs that work best and are easiest to build, and don't be afraid to incorporate ideas for one design into another. Then build it. Then get the powdercoat guy to do his thing on your new build. Then strip the paint off the DW while you use the new build for riding. Then have the powder coat guy do his thing on the DW. Then start all over again with the paper and pencils.

[gbbwolf]

Stripping paint for me he said he will bead blast it for free.
