Wife is away so I can play.
Painted the mini, now to put it together.(and it is black)
About to start making a narrow 26" wheels on 32mm wide rims.
My mate (aus4) are off for an extra days sailing tomorrow.It is a club88 day so I will just tag along. Its a 460k round trip each time but it is worth it to sail with some great guys and gals.

Cheers

Damn! asu230, She is gonna be "Slicker 'n' Snot on a Linoleum Floor" The Name ("Black Ice") should be about the only stuff on it..

PS; Sorry you Westerners would not be no about Black Ice. The road looks black in places and if you hit it at speed then you are in for a real spin.

Dang but that's a nice bit of kit

Can't wait to see it hitching up its skirts and letting rip

funny you should mention the skinny 26. I picked up a perfect cond carbon 26 rim atthe tip today, I was looking for a skinny 20.
had the same thought that skinnies would be fine on lefroy.
having seen the body you painted ,Im assuming those are cut outs for your feet
maybe it should be named black oops
meanwhile after TP1 and I raced around to do the 3 jobs today, I finally hit the shed and started putting my bits together

The cut out on the side is for the rod steering (same as Clems) it will have a rubber cover over it. The one in the top will be covered and it is to access something

Your new yacht is looking good what does it weigh so far.

We don't want to hear about that Vic. We want to hear about the Darth Vader costume.

yeah, everyone's focusing on speed and performance, perhaps we should focus on "style"
