SAS 4.0

Time for another race in the park.........this time around I'm throwing out a challenge to any off road fixed gear nut to show what they got. It's my turf and I own it!

Sixtynine'r rising............

The chain stays came together and now the jig is up...........one HUGE consideration to keep in mind is the larger wheel up front requires that the head tube position is set up so that the front axle is 1.5" higher than the back axle.......I want to maintain a BB drop of 44mm so all this has to be set up correctly.......at least the bike will be full rigid, so I don't have to consider "sag". The SS will be (wishbone) "mono-stay" design with a sleve on the ST where the TT and SS come together.
A point to ponder..........when considering the BB drop, an imaginary line is drawn from one axle to the next. In the case of a bike with two different sized wheels this horizontal line does not go frome axle to axle rather it runs somewhere between these two points and THAT is where the BB drop should be calculted from.

Oh-ram! I got hammered........

To begin a new tradition with the Smokebike posse........I built this trophy for the top dog in the group. T-bro gets it first for beating me to the finish with a time of 9hrs, 21min.......mine was 9hrs, 51min. Next one to hammer it up on the group, get's it with an opportunity to build on it by giving me some steel bike token to weld to it.

Make room for something "new".........

Well ORAMM is behind me, with a time of 9hrs and 51mins.........not lightning fast but I finished. Not without casualty.......the frame broke 40 miles into the race with 23 to go.......RIP. I had no idea it was toast until I washed it off the next day. Oh well, time for something new. Next up will be a 69r, full rigid geared bike. More to come......

Countdown to ecstacy............

ORAMM is coming and by the looks of it with 450 riders and sold out........there will be prisoners. I'm planning to finish within ten hours.....the "pros" do it in six! J at Fatz says it will change my life.......we'll see.

Old is "new" again.............

The beuty of "rattle-can" paint is that when ever you feel like a new color you just strip her down and spray away..........it helps with the jones for something new on the bike (and it cost next to nothing). I put the "long travel" (5") shock on for ORAMM next week but turns out my back did not like having to stay in the saddle (serious back pain as I type)......so it's back to full rigid.......thanks to my brotha T-man, it will be a Pace carbon fork up front, hopefully it doesn't come unglued blazing down Kitzuma.

Time for a good cause..........

Made these "creations" for a fund raiser to help a local rider who was injured in an accident.
