GCinDC's Giant DH Comp

[kfong]

Todd, even I wouldn't kiteboard in these conditions, he must be new to the sport. Haven't been dragged on the beach and once through open water. You learn to really respect the kite and wind. I hope he took lessons, it's one of the few sports I recommend taking lessons on. Thanks for rewinding my Turnigy, motor has been a solid performer. I've been crazy busy with work and have not had much time for any ebike builds. Sounds like Greg has you working on a build, I look forward to the results.

Greg, bummer about your surgery. I put off my ACL for years, but glad I had it done. Now I can do more than I could if I kept putting it off. The wind here is pretty strong as well, can't imagine near the hurricane. All my lawn chairs have just now slid off the deck.

 

[Hyena]

Tie down the elephants mate! The storm hasn't even hit and already you're losing trees like that ? Sounds like you're in for a wild ride!

hehe, I don't have a generator either...but i have an inverter & a SH@#T load of batteries laying around & ususaly topped off...
I don't have any progress to report just yet on our project G. & +1 on the lazy Boys.

+1 on both points - charge up all your lipo now to use with an inverter (if you have one) or atleast power your AC adaptors for your phone and laptop (priorities ) And yeah I lived in a lazy boy chair for around 4 months while having chemo. I was too tired and weak to go up and down the stairs to my bedroom so camped out in front of the TV and next to the kitchen.

 

[Sacman]

Wow Sandy really hammerred you guys Greg. I hope you were hunkered down pretty well recovering from the shoulder and all. And yeah you prolly got enough batts to power yourself if you had to.

 

[GCinDC]

naw, i don't think the winds got much over 50mph, but all the trees near us are now down, and power stayed up. slept fine.

if only i could electrify the lazy boy and commute in on it!!

nyc is another story.

and from nj:

Glad to hear you got off pretty light this time.
That vid is pretty cool. Well, it sucks for the people living there!
What's with teh house at 15 seconds in ?? It looks like it rolled up it's pants and stood up on tippy toes when the water came in! :lol:

[GCinDC]

tree cut up and removed, except for stump. a lot of work for barbie! (presumably left by a trick or treater, or likely found in car and resurrected)

 

[sardini]

You must have really good insurance there guys you have left the cars park like any other day !!

Glad though that no one was injured

 

[Thud]

I been lookig for a name for Greg's new DH comp build....I like "Sandy" but maybe "Huricane" would be more apropriate :lol:

Here is a teaser befor I start the build thread:

Anyone like the sound of "Huricane Drive"? (not to be confused with Cyclone.......RImshot! )

I am charging a new camera to replace my dead (aincheint) Olympus....nothing fancy but better than the $20 walmart Vivitar I took the above pics with.
Oh & it wouldn't be a GCinDC worthy post without video:

[GCinDC]

you just made my day!

 

[Thud]

Hey G,
I been thinking about your change from white to something else.....how do you feel about a film dipped 3-d camo finish?
maybe skullz ?

Just throwing it out there as an option



its definatly do-able & durable also....I have diped little parts....bike frame would be a fun challange.

 

[GCinDC]

omg, secret service would be drooling over a mil-type camo bike...

once they realize it's one of ours, that is. if they think it's rusky, hmm, not so good. :lol:

i'll have to think about it!

 

[Thud]

https://www.mydipkit.com/index.php
lotsa options for some unique detail....

We'll get more into it on the new thread comming to a forum near you soon!

 

[GCinDC]

u thinking of painting soon?

 

[Thud]

Its the last on my list of things to do....but a color sceame will open my pallet for the anodised portions of the reduction box & primary sprockets.

 

[GCinDC]

how bout blue, grey, black? when it boils down to it, those are the colors i'm most at home in. :wink:

i'll search for exact colors, this popped up in a quick search of "blue grey bike"

better start the thread. the name will come. 8)

 

[Hyena]

Wow that stuff looks great! My pants just got a little tighter at the thought of doing my stealth fighter in that stuff 8)
Looks like it'd cost a fortune to do a whole bike though - probably cheaper to pay someone to air brush it.

 

[full-throttle]

speaking of which, wtf is this???

Not sure.. Prob just

[GCinDC]

started PT last week and i'm starting to get my arm back! won't be long before i can get up on this mofo!

and in other news, the lawsuit is now over!

everyone hates lawyers, but lawsuits are scary shit and getting sued is an eye opener, believe me.

^ i am assuming this is not ebike related?

Good luck on the PT. The range of motion excercises can hurt like hell at first but they do get better.

and in other news, the lawsuit is now over!

Any words of advice so the rest of us can avoid the same ordeal?

 

[Trackman417]

Uh-oh. What hapened? :|

be careful what you tether a gopro to!

for example, if you go tubing on a lake behind a motorboat, don't tether the gopro to the handle of the tube...
