Thanks, Jason I'm happy to share and glad if in anyway I've encouraged some wrenching. And thanks, Ryan, too! She digs the bike. And I think workshops, like bikes, are each a miracle. When I first decided to make a build video I was thinking of some other builds I enjoyed watching. I

Late to the party here...but Eric, I just love watching your bike-building videos; love the calm almost Zen-like vibe and attention to detail . I may have mentioned this before...but it bears repeating. Your partner looks like she's enjoying her freshly-built bike. As she should. Watching you

Eric, you continue to inspire me to tinker with my bikes. Your creativity is so fun to watch, both in your builds and video production. You're a real great contributor to the community, please keep up the solid efforts! On Sunday, November 13, 2022 at 12:16:58 PM UTC-6 eric...@gmail.com

Thank you, Bill! I definitely put a lot of thought into converting the bike into something way more useful that it had been and tried my best to source some good-looking (but not too fancy) parts with a timeless feel to them. Still kinda wish I had a more plain-looking rear mech. Hard to beat a

I love all the mix and match you do to get EXACTLY the function you want. One's ability to do that is one of the things that make bicycles such wonderful, versatile tools/toys. Bill S San Diego On Saturday, November 12, 2022 at 3:57:29 PM UTC-8 eric...@gmail.com wrote: > Thanks so much,

Thanks so much, Elizabeth and Mike! I really appreciate it. If only I could find a few nice, flat sheets of 3/4 plywood... for free! On Saturday, November 12, 2022 at 3:24:23 PM UTC-5 michaels...@gmail.com wrote: > Great vid Eric! The field recordings are always a really nice touch. I > agree

Great vid Eric! The field recordings are always a really nice touch. I agree with Paul definitely jealous of your workshop space and how organized it looks. If you do decide to expand your workshop, the process would make another great video! -Mike, SF On Tuesday, November 1, 2022 at 8:11:13

That's a nice mixte, Paul, thanks for sharing. Is that a Suntour Compe-V high normal front derailer? I *love* the cage on those but don't think I'd be down for the high normal arrangement. That's something that hasn't come up in all our discussions of rapid rise, the few high-normal front

Nice looking mixte Paul. I see you have an Uno seat post as well. As I recall the Shogun had an odd size, not too many options to chose from. JohnS On Monday, October 31, 2022 at 7:46:16 PM UTC-4 Paul in Dallas wrote: > > > > > I've got the 1973 Nishiki low step 22" frame going and it's a nice

Thanks, Paul! I do enjoy having a bit of organization going on, it works in my favor. I am getting to the point where I need to think about some further infrastructure and potentially building out some more wall space for shelving and storage. Your Nishiki sounds fun. I'm glad I didn't run
