So I got my home-made/adapted fat bike working again. The rear triangle has been fixed and beefed up. The small chainring just about works so looking forward to a proper go!

I like that bike - what happened to the back end ?

some enterprising welder of tubes should start offering stuff like that - I'd have one for the back of my old Bullit*

*If it was ded cheap and guaranteed for life

Looks like a man in the shed invention hoot. Fun! I doff my cap to you. That's not a euphemism by the way.

Floor needs some proper rubbish on it and get rid of the fire extinguisher and shift the yellow kids climbing frame away from the draw set and I think you'll have a nice workshop there.

I see no hammer nor mol grips.
