got some sweet tires today at my LBS i was ecstatic to see them there having never seen them there before


the owner said somebody ordered them last year in may but never paid just a deposit
supposedly they are super durable/longwearing the center about 1" is stiff,hard,thick
plus they look pretty sweet

finally got some more work done on the frame


for some reason the pipes look not straight in the picture but they are
will finish out these welds soon and figure out how to get a loopy downtube

this project is taking lots longer than i expected. waiting for more parts to come in and not having all the time to work on it i would like
i may have to leave out my front suspension idea until later
costs also seem to add up quickly and to a larger dollar amount than what i thought at the beginning

got a question

ive got a sturmey archer 3-speed hub on the back but the sprocket that comes with it is too thick to get an 8-speed chain on. could i just shave it down without any ill effects?

I've never used a archer hub... hopefully someone with some experience with it will jump in with some advice.

holy craps!
if anybody has any ideas about using a jackshaft just buy the whole thing from sickbikeparts!
trying to set up my own jackshaft its insane

im sure the sbp kit has got to be awesome since it looks totally bolt up. the whole tack and then adjust stuff just dont work when trying to line up chain rings and sprockets!
