Linkage

 

I worked on the trials bike yesterday and finished the linkage. The only thing left to finish the frame is the piece to hold the rubbing block for the drive chain. Actually, I already have a piece made, just need to fiddle with it a bit then tack it on. I get that done, I'll weld everything finish and either paint it or powder coat it. It's getting close to being done.

Looks like it'll work - just needs some tidying up. Surly's coming down today to discuss a few things. The BSA project will definitely be one of them. The quick-change for the jitney, hence the Chuck Berry song, will be here this week. I need to get that to the stage where I can roll it in and out of the shop. I did a little think time on a way to turn the drum on the bike wheels if need be. I made a sketch, but I'll hold off on machining any parts until I need it, if I do. There's plenty of other projects on the list as well.

I got a call from the boss man at the college. I'll be teaching MIG 2, instead of Stick 2. And the nights will change, which will work in my favor. I'll be able to go to the boxing gym and the ham radio club meetings now. Don't know if I'll want to be busy four nights a week, but I do enjoy going to the gym and I definitely need the exercise.
