        Know what it feels like.  I bust my finger careering down Kirk Fell in the Lake District a few years ago, that was before I realised I could use the bracken to slow me down.

                Want to show off my bike hehe. Well it’s not bike bike, but bicycle.
                I made it myself for my wife from bits and used 1983 frame I bought on flee bay.

                Frame before:

                End result:

                      richochet – I'm seriously impressed that you made that bike, dude. You're very talented ! Check this article out :

                      I admire KT Higgins. As I've mentioned before, I'm a total numbskull when it comes to mechanical inclination. That's why I write code for a living. Logical/Analytical mind, YES. But there's a certain high intelligence associated with building things, fixing things with your bare hands – and I lack that kind of IQ.

                        That is a sweet build!  I'm just about to do the same thing with a frame I found on ebay.  This time, being only my second, I'll be documenting/photo-ing my progress.  I'm gonna do up a utility bike using an early 80's Univega Vivia Touring frame.  😉

                          My Laverda passed it's MOT today, thank goodness for that and just in time to enjoy the decent spell of weather here in the UK.

                                          Looking to purchase a bicycle in NY. New or Used Single Speed. Would like to spend anywhere from $200-$400. Anyone got a hook or know of a good shop? Also, any ideas of a good brand or model that may fit the bill so I can narrow down my search? Thanks!
