Alex #2........











Going to attempt to build a yard bike for the kid.............he's ten now and thinks he wants to do a few log runs. My objective will be to build a short wheel based bike with a 20" wheel in the back and a 24" up front........the tubing will be the Columbus Life stuff that was passed on to me. It will be burly enough to handle any size rider.

I get by with a little help........
















from my friends. Mr. Pisgah Pro. hooked me up with a tube-set today. Some forgotten tubing from a forgotten builder........some big fat "vintage" Columbus Life tubing. So this frame is destined for some burly yard riding. Built for a ten year old to play on logs and jump a few gaps.

Best kept secret............
























































There is a trail out in eastern NC that is so sweet, you'd think you where on a roller coaster for mountain bikes.............The Bike Post Trail outside of Greenville, NC is a pleasant surprise.
