Winter projects: 1. S3X wheelbuild for the Quickbeam - Riding it now. Mostly like it. http://www.biketinker.com/2011/projects/s3x-in-the-woods/
2. New bike for Angelina, and tweaked to match her old bike - mostly done. http://www.biketinker.com/2011/fine-bikes/half-pimped-trek-belleville/ Seat tweaked this morning, and white rubber block pedals added. Front basket remains to install. 3. Replacement bike for the child who's outgrown his Redline Junior but doesn't know it. Rigid fork on the way: http://www.biketinker.com/2011/projects/new-kona-p2-fork/ - still needs deraillers, cassette and cross tires. 4. More wheel building - planning stages. S2 kickback and generator hub, perhaps. 5. Sachs Automatic 2-speed hub - spring replacement or adjustment. Shelved. Literally, but the shelf is just in the garage.
