wow i suck . not only am i just realizing your need for the outriggers on that rig but i complain about my sore 40+ year old knees as they pop and fissle for the first half hour every morning (life time of construction and dh skiing). but they still work and im getting less than a fraction done compared to you. yikes
time to abandon the wife and kids for a while and hit the shop i guess.
Nice work . inspiring me to get my off the shelf bike done so i can monkey do and copy u (sans outriggers) and build my own frame.
bravo.
ps: im gonna edit in a shot of the drive train on this giant i have . from what i understand ive outsourced most of these components for replacement if i mess them up . it occurs to me the front bb may interest you if your putting pedals on that machine. im no bike expert but the front bottom bracket i believe is cammed to provide a way to tension the front chain, may be usefull somehow .
ive seen the setup before . no idea what it may be called but thought it may be usefull for this kind of mod'ing.
