Re: bike jack

Here's my "bike jack." [url=https://flic.kr/p/QzDA1U] https://c1.staticflickr.com/1/730/31885902804_4a694eb885.jpg By tilting bike side to side while adding 2x4s and 1x4s I can pick it up with minimum difficulty. Don't always, but have been known to run a rope from handlebars to overhead r...

Re: photography

I used to take LOTS of pictures (as opposed to making photographs) in my job as a field editor for a rural electric cooperative statewide publication.

Re: What Paint?

Rustoleum High Performance Enamel red (silver can) is very close to "proper" color on chainguard (laying in frame) that was already painted with SH paint when I got it. I think I bought it at Auto Zone but it's been awhile. Reasonably run- and splatter-resistant when applying, pretty tough...
