Friday vibes heading to the machine shop today!
And a new bike day photo for the bike nerds.
Heading to the Philly bike show.

Sweet custom bicycle! Rim brakes and aluminum rims huh? What are some kind of purist? Oh wait I see the mechanical Campy drivetrain...yup definitely a purist. I haven't seen a purist since I was on Velocipede forums back in the day. Fat tires are a game changer!

Thanks brother !
Yeah I’m an old cat 2 roadie.
I know RS and all those guys on Vsalon.
yeah this is my version of a dirt road bike.
Those are 35s that measure out to 38 mm.
And with those serrated brake tracks it stops just as good as disc brakes on the mountain bike.
Definitely a purist not into electric and hydros on a road bike.

This is a proper modern classic steel shredder! That weighs 16 lbs
And yes those very modern aluminum HED Ardennes whlz.
Not into riding plastic deadwood frames lol!

Love it! Can't beat a pedal on your own custom frame with all the bells and whistles. I still pedal my old Sycip as a commuter and never plan to stop.

These pipes are the most modern Columbus steel super thin wall.

pics? I'm thinking of converting my sleeping platform to a drawer system (I would need to raise it to make it useful) and was wondering how best to handle this part. I want to do something strong/sturdy. Currently my platform is the same height as the rear portion of the folded down seat back, gives an incline when my mattress is on it which I'm not a huge fan of either.

12 tall drawers, no slides and a wood block under the seats to make it level. 1/2 ply for lightness.

I make fancy wood blocks

Replacing the gear oil in my diffs. The crush washer has a flat side and a side with a seam. Which side faces outwards toward the plug?

It doesn't matter.

Even though Dan states it doesn't matter, I would place the seam on the nut side because that would be the side to "slide"

Cleaning and organizing for vapor blasting and Cerakote.

Took a drive today. The cable slack was my issue. I'll have to order a new cable

Never the side your creating the torque on.
In other words seam in. This is the way for copper/fibre gaskets used in aviation.

First annual Maritime Cruiserfest

It got rescheduled to this later date due to Hurricane Fiona ruining the first selected date.

Going to be late spring for 2023 edition

Only 3 rigs but at least they were 80’s. Cool temps at night, -4 C but beautiful weather during the day.

Hoping more of the Maritime Land Cruiser members join us next year. Or any other cruiser from anywhere

Built some drawers... Didn't use drawer slides

Like the title says, I built some drawers over the weekend. nothing real fancy. I took a lot of ideas from other drawers that have been posted up but went another direction when it came to the slides. I have a couple sets of 26" Accuride heavy duty ball bearing drawer slides I was going to...
