I should be there. Might be some ice on the side streets but I think

I think 10oz is too thin, but it depends on what you are trying to do.
Local fabric stores almost never have material that is strong enough
for what I want to do.
However, home sewing machines can't sew heavy fabric.
You need an industrial strength machine with a walking foot.

By the way, here is the blog I just created.

What bars are you using with the Bombadil right now? Noodles? M-bars?
I think we're linked through Flickr, I'll check there. Thanks for the

Thanks to William & Jon for their responses. That got it. The
engagement tab on the Shimano washer needs to be pointed down. We've
got clear skies & cool temps here in SoCal, so a perfect day for a
test ride.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Just another data-point for you:I ride a 64cm Quickbeam and a 56cm
Bombadil- they both are the right size for me.I have a lot of
seatpost showing on the bombadil but it's a mountain bike with a
sloped TT and that much seatpost is normal. The dirtdrop stem is

I'm planning on it!!! Should be fun, but early May can, as you know, be a
bit dodgy, weather-wise.

Use a #90 jeans needle, or even a #100. Replace it frequently (which
you should do in any case). Even a cheap sewing machine should punch
through layers if you use the right needle.

Hi, all!
I rode home last night in rain which was on/off throughout the 10+ mile ride.
It probably rained for half of the 55 minutes I was on the bike. It was slow

FWIW:
My LBS can order the Sturmey Archer two speed hubs from QBP.
I'm going to build it with a Mavic Open Sport rim to match the
existing Quickbeam rims.
The cogs, $3 each...certainly the cheapest part of this project. :-)
It will be interesting to see how well this works.

You would have to arm wrestle me for that 60+ AR Rob! Great bike, but
more legend than reality - I've never seen one over 59cm.
Good luck with the sale Greg, and I hope the funds translate to
