How I Built a Steel Bike
If you want to learn how to build a bicycle, The Bicycle Frame Building School in Tucson Arizona is the best bicycle frame making school in North America.
I chose to study with Frame Builder, Dave Bohm because he has a wealth of knowledge on metal working, bicycles, tools, and the bicycle industry at all levels. Plus, this hands-on course offered me the chance to not only learn how to braze metal, miter tubes and design a bicycle frame geometry from scratch, it also let me make my own bicycle fork, which is not common at a in a bicycle frame building course.
I brought my own safety glasses right out of my Opa's old workshop. I like It was special to give them a new project to work on, espe...

Two Weeks After Collarbone Surgery - Came to Halifax to Have my Staples Removed
Просмотров 1,9 тыс.2 года назад
Two weeks after having collarbone surgery, I came to Nova Scotia, one of Canada's Maritime provinces. I made a special trip to Halifax to get the staples from my surgical wound removed. I wasn't sure what to expect in a Halifax hospital or clinic, and I can promise you that I was nervous about what it would feel like to have staples removed after surgery. Plus I was about to find out whether my...
Travelling, Days After Collarbone Surgery, to Sea Otter Classic

Only days after having a plate drilled into my broken collarbone, I was scheduled to take an airplane to California, to attend the Sea Otter Classic bicycle festival.

Finally, it was a great decision to go to Monterey Californ...

    You picked some wild dropouts 😂 to each their own. I prefer a more sideways V with opening facing toward the back shaped drop out the most so I can easily loosen my rear wheel if my chain catches any extra unwanted slack I can just pull back on my rear wheel until the chain has perfect tension easily without having to hold the bike up at a weird angle and fight with the drop out just to tighten my chain. It’s the easiest, fastest, and most inexpensive way for a person to adjust chain tension back to perfect according to your preference. I think it’s cool you took the time to learn not just to build a bike but actually BUILD BUILD A BIKE like not just put on some aftermarket parts and actually designed a real personal bike. Respect.

    I've had my M1 evo helmet for a week and used 1x so far. I was able to keep a conversation going with a work colleague for 20-30 min with no issues. The noise cancellation is amazing - my colleague never heard the cars, a dump truck, police motorcycle with siren blasting as they drove by me. I have only one complaint though - everyone knows the audio has no base and I think this is intentional. But going against the wind, the wind noise almost drowns out the audio from the helmet (even at full volume). Either Sena needs to increase the volume if needed in certain situations, or they need to add a small wind shield in front of the speakers.

      Thanks! If you can make it to Tucson, this school is definitely really cool, one of a kind! The bike design (aesthetics) is inspired a lot by my Opa who was a wizard with building, creating, fixing, ... especially metal things. This course gave me the chance to use a lot of tools that I saw in his garage. My Oma and Opa were sailors (Oma still loves going out on the water) and their boat was named St. Pauli. I was so excited to try my hand at working with metal like my grandfather, plus I think I like riding bikes as much as my grandparents love sailing so I thought it would be cool for my bike to be inspired by them. The shirt just fits with the theme ;). (I spotted it in Spain and bought it from a shop, there)

    @noelbrown6771 11 месяцев назад

    I think you made a good decision to go with a surgery. My broken clavicle healed naturally. So the break did not mend in perfect alignment. It causes me some interference with muscle or ligament when throwing a baseball or football overhand. I've suffered with aches and pain for over 20 years in that area. Fortunately when we moved to our new home with a swimming pool it just so happens that I haven't had those issues with pain or mobility. I'm guessing because of swimming around the pool has helped with finally rehabbing the shoulder. Honestly I hadn't considered the improvement until watching your video.💡 😂
