Hello Everyone!,Well I've been slackin' on My hobbies....My HP laptop with the Vista os gave out,with all of My pics and links ect. The hard drive I'm guessing....(Dear Santa,I would love a new computer for Christmas!)...So I'm using an old Dell latitude D600 that I bought at a computer sale a few years ago,got less than a $100 into it...Its windows XP system is slow but it works!....As it goes right now the PREDATOR/SCHWINN build is on hold till spring....Still looking for a duel disc front hub (cycles US is out of stock)to use on the rear with a disc on the left,a sprocket on the right,with the power going through a shift kit setup...So a free wheel front sprocket is on the list too!...I May be starting a new job after the new year so I'll be on and off around here... Ride safe Gang!....Tigmaster....

Nice to hear from you again!
Hopefully you'll get your computer.
I did not know that XP is considered slow. The computer I am using to type this out right now I built myself 13 years ago and it is running Windows XP, through a 1.81ghz AMD Sempron 3000+ processor
It cost me about $250 total.
Good luck with your hub dilemma, have you looked at ebay or amazon?
If you get the job, I hope that it is better than you expected!

An idea while you are holed up for the winter. If you go to google, select Gmail at the top of the screen, and create an account, it will give you access to post pictures online for free.
After you create your account and login, just go back to google.com and then select "more" at the top of the screen, then go down to photos.
I use this type of free online storage for my build photos, it's fairly simple and makes it easy to link photos in an online forum like this.

Hey Gang!...I back!...After over a year of silence I have a new computer!....The old Dell served Me well but the powers to be at Microsoft wont be supporting XP after April, I bit the bullet and bought a new H/P touchsmart laptop with windows 8.1, 500 G hard drive, 8 G ram, touchscreen, and multi dvd-r/w drive....The bikes have been on the back burner and after this cold long winter I need some spring time riding to clear the cobwebs of cabin fever!....hope to keep up with My posts now that I'm back on line, till then...RIDE SAFE!....Tigmaster....
