    I like bicycles.

    The picture of the hod-bike? I don't think those forks will do another load.
    We don't know how lucky we are....

    Looks like a very old frame, that pattern is essentially 1920's I think. If it's indian built they may be solid, we had an old posties bike with solid forks.
    Do you like the brakes and steering arrangements in pic 1?

    Steering probably lacks a bit of feel and the brake might just be for show.....but he's got a light, good tyres and is wearing bright clothing. So he obviously knows what he's up to.

    Though he appears to haves misspelled "BAD ASS" on his headband.
    Perhaps it says,"BANDSAW HERE".
    Either way,I wouldn't argue with him.

    the first pic would be the ultimate Tour de Fat bike. If I could pull of the costume then that evening would be even better than last years.

    I have a trailer that can carry a full keg, but that just attracts college kids.
    In fact, if you can saw a penciled line, apply glue, drive nails, and bring a modest measure of patience to the task, you can build and launch a smart and able craft in as few as 40 work hours. You need not be driven by lack of tools, materials, skills, or time to abandon in frustration a project you conceived in a spirit of pleasurable anticipation.
