altura de bicicleta

I spoke to my mom this weekend. After reading my blog she asked "what's a tall bike?" Well, der, I thought to myself, it's a bike of somewhat larger than normal, or recommended, stature. After explaining what a tall bike was to my mom, I decided it was time to get moving on my project again. So, here's what I have after working on it this weekend. note: welding in sandals can give you a condition I now refer to as "hot foot." I plan to avoid this in the future. There's still a whole bunch of work to be done here, but the tall bike is ridable at this point. No breaks of any kind yet either, so it's not really a good idea to ride it yet. Here's what I have left: connect the two neck tubes. Install a hand break (the lever is already on the handle bars, I just need to go get a long cable) or preferably, find a coaster or fixed gear real wheel. Either lop off the two support tubes on the back, or use them to mount some sort of flourish. Weld the neck to the forks (they are just stuck together right now). Then take it all apart, sand blast it, paint it, re-assemble and ride. My original goal was to have it out for critical mass next week, but that doesn't look like it's gonna happen. Maybe October.
