20" Surly Big Dummy Frame and Fork looking for a good home
A little backstory. If you don't care then skip to the end. About 10 years ago I built this internal gear hubbed commuter bike with a chaincase and generator light (I know the generator light is missing from the photo, but trust me that the bike had...

Cycle Truck Finished
I did some finish work on the Cycle Truck and sent it off to be powder coated a couple of weeks ago. It was coated by Seattle Powder Coat in Ballard. They did a nice job at a reasonable price and with a very quick turnaround. The paint is red to pay homage...

A little bit of progress on everything
I have nothing finished to show, but I have progress on the deck, cargo bike, and my bicycle jig. The deck is half done. We were hoping to finish it this weekend but the 90F weather kept us off of the roof. We're also waiting on 5 more boards to be...

My new bike project -- Cargo Bike
A year or two ago I drew up this design for a 20" front, 26" rear wheeled cargo bike and posted about it on this blog. This basic design is often called a cycletruck after the classic Schwinn sold around WW2. The idea is that a smaller front...
