Crank Shortage

Spend a few minutes/hours shortening a pair of cranks for my kiddo, Put in some extra style & speed holes for kicks. I forget how long they were before I started, but they are 100mm long now. Going on a 16" wheeled BMX bike. Spin it to win it... Spot faced, drilled and tapped
Extra Holes and a tumbled finish ..

Carrizo Ramble

Back at it with a ride report from May of 24'. Filling the content void on my blogger webpage with anything I can.
Lonely roads with my friend Brian..
Even more lonely, windy too.
That one shade tree, always my favorite spot.
Tailgate camper, it's a vibe...
Until next time...

Content flow zone

Making something out of nothing and riding trails on my bicycle is where it's at. Homemade chopper/rake/tamper that I made from a scrap piece of 3/16" steel ( probably mild steel ) .
Did a quick layout for the shape and then cut it up on the bandsaw
Cleaned up the teethy tangs with an angle grinder and called it good, ruff and tuff & down and dirty, its nasty... Then brazed a sleeve and binder boss on it for a 1 1/4" broom stick.
Lets roll....

Oregon

Getting the blog groove going again.. Made a quick decision to visit some family up in Bend OR.. Really needed to re-connect with both family and friends. Good for the soul. Here's a few pic's from Oakridge OR.. If you haven't been, its the PLACE... My old friend Eugene helps run the bike shop in town www.oakridgebikeshop.com... Get your bike tuned up and buy a fresh pair of Carhartts while you're at it..Endless singletrack ready to ride right from town..
