about a month ago, i went to Right to Move to pick out a frame. projects there are given 30 days to be completed.
i was getting a bit worried earlier this week because i had delayed starting until after my exam, and my 30 days ends may 5th. i went in on monday- perfect because it was rainy and not busy- and got a good start. tuesday when i showed up, there weren’t any workspaces available for most of the time they were open, and i ended up only putting on some new brake pads. yesterday, same thing. i didn’t get in until 8pm which was about an hour before closing time. luckily i worked quickly and got it all together.
this is what i built this week:
-
- my horseless carriage
-
- 1 chainring, 8 gears.
-
- no front brakes
if i count all the time i put into it, including rummaging through boxes for miscellaneous stuff like a matching set of pedals, then it took me about 5 hours to get it together. sure, i decided not to put brakes on the front or have more than 7 gears, but it’s almost exactly what i was looking for in a bike. it’s fast, light, and, unlike my last one, actually stops.
