Hey chook, been flying your kites lately

You would need some decent muscles in your legs to peddle this one hey.

Should get this book as a Christmas present for Paul, seen it in the bookshop last time i was Esperance.

right boys , back on track. the road worrier is now back together after a little patch and beef up




its back on the riad and feeling just fine.
i tried out the 2.6mm fencing wire in the spoke threader, and it was OK as long as the nipple was a tight one.
chook has now found out that trellising wire is slightly thicker at 2.65 mm.
after a phone call to my favourite cowamarup vineyard, Cape Grace, an envelope full of wire samples is in the post
with luck , perhaps a bottle of their awesome gold medal cab sav should have a result by early next week

bugger , the vineyard wire was bog ordinary 2.6mm and 2.85. I suppose i'll have to go straight to the manufacturer

dang it chook,my interweb is slow at the mo so I'll have to come back to that.
like yourself, Im stuck on thatb wire, ,meanwhile considering going canoeing on lefroy on the weekend
have to work the weekend to catch up after the rain , but track to king of the west should be good for next weekend. there will have to be at least 1.5m after that rain

not us gibber, just our doppelgangers

Keep this in mind for next year....

finally some progress. A winegrower in Moora sent me some 2.64mm growwire to test and it is just perfect!!!!!!. we can now move on to the next phase of building a full size spoke to destroy!!!!!

shes up and rolling, bit dusty in the street, hence the shot at speed
hows the wire hunt going chook
we need to be ready before i finish this one and and start the autocycle

Honda had a production machine like that in the 60's was called a Monkey bike, fold up [maybe strine]

The one you have photographed, i have 4 very good wheels, tires, if not the same , very similar.

you can have then if you want, pick up or pay the freight.........

An uncle of mine had a similar fold up WW2 paratroopers bike many years ago
