while I was at it I realized the 3 bolts holding the plywood rack on, were loose. 2 tightened up OK but the one in the middle needed a cpl washers & a nut. gave it another thin coat of polyurethane too. brushed a little on the new washers & nut too

What size wheels? Aluminum or carbon. I'm getting up in years and have been thinking about a new bike that will treat my aching joints kindly. I could see this frame in aluminum, with coil over rear shock and a coil front fork. XT drivetrain and brakes. I love Konas. And this bike looks like the perfect ticket for the trails near my house.

I would have countersunk the bolts into the plywood tho! :okay:
thanks, that would have been a nice touch! I was toying with the idea of using a hole saw & jig saw to cut out some voids to make it lighter. but was undecided about the pattern to use. but then thought that I wouldn't be able to make it look nice or that the effort wouldn't be worth it. plus I had already made a significant racket in the basement, just getting that far. I agree there's some potential there. I've seen some nice DIY wood racks & even baskets on the internet

studded tires.JPG

it would be a 1st, if the MTB's studded tires get ridden only once this year. the hybrid has already been out several times in legit winter weather. had to search out the ice a cpl days ago w/ this bike & I found some. but once the ice is gone, we'll be back to the Riddlers pronto
