Spring and Summer came and went, my weekends and free time became devoted to soccer games, family time, yard work and mtb racing. While every weekend until the third week of November is booked on my calendar, I can see some light peeking over the horizon to put a little time back into this project. Work has slowed down for the moment and my thoughts have turned towards something to keep me sain when the air turns ice cold and the options for outdoor activities quickly become shoveling snow, sleding and an occasional snowball fight this winter.
Really not too much left to do. Just need one forkstand and a way to mount them and a couple of sets of rollers to some plywood.
One more important improvement may be to the bikes. Right now they are both running ghetto 52 X 16 gearing. This may prove great for roller racing but, I used one of the bikes quite often this summer to pull my daughter on her tag a long and a 44 or 48 chain ring would be a definite improvement. I've got a spare mtb crank and BB. So, I am thinking of throwing that on one bike and finding a huffy donor somewhere for the other. That should improve the gearing as well as, the ghetto chain lines.
