And another new video!

Saw this at a flea market. Very rough. Looks like they used garden hose for tires and bits of plumbing pipe.

Wow, this was only 4 years ago. Seems longer. I recovered relatively quickly. I still get back aches occasionally. Like right now actually. WEAR YOUR HELMETS!!!!!!

I was shooting footage for a video and made a stupid mistake. I crashed my bike, and fractured three vertebrae (T3, T4, T5). One of the doctors said that if ...

New video! Hopefully another video coming soon!

I was working on an old Bianchi mountain bike that had RockShox Mag 20 forks. The forks would bottom out without a lot of weight. They are air/oil forks, and...

Hmmm...this looks like it might be a fun overhaul.
Customer: I have a creak coming from the bottom bracket.
Me: You don't have a bottom bracket!

I made a new video! It's now online.

A new video. I was overhauling some Suntour forks (making a video), and I need an extra EXTRA long hex socket. I couldn't find one to buy, so I made one.

And it's back! Without the profanity! :D

I got this 2002 Fuji Nevada for free from a friend. He used to ride it around his college campus. He stripped the bike, and uglified so it wouldn't be stolen...

Okay. I uploaded a video. But then a viewer pointed out an editing issue. Where I goofed during one part, and I reshot the bit. But I left the old bit in...with a profanity. Oopps. So I quickly took the video off line. I fixed the editing. Now I am rendering the video which will take about 4 hours. Then I will need to re-upload which will take a few hours. So video should be back up this afternoon. Hopefully profanity free. LOL
