    The cunning plan progresses

    The AW 3 speed hub conversion for the GNG mid drive takes another leap forward, laced and trued (to within 2 gnats) The cat gave it a looking at and said its good enough but asked why I used a cheap rim, the answer of course was that I already had it and wasn't going to spend ££ on a good one...

    A quote for the new year

    Just to wish everyone a happy new year In these times of mud slinging and dispersions being cast, may I dear reader remind us of a bit of a very famous play writ by Mr Shakespeare, the words are old but the meaning is just as relevant. Hamlet: To be, or not to be, that is the question...

Build 2 is going remarkably fast, the cost was justified as a winter project to keep me amused until March... however it now looks like I won't be able to avoid finishing it by mid next week at the very very latest :p A question arises however in what does the team think about...

    Hi guys and galls (any reference to a famous person now demised is not intended, but simply used as a generic greeting) My folding bike conversion is coming along nicely.. but a point arises that I'd sooner attend to now rather than after the build is complete. Looking at the chain from above...
