Much Much Go...

Much Much Win!

I'm so excited to announce that I won both first prize and people's choice award at the inaugural Deus Boundless Enthusiasm Bike Buildoff yesterday.

More images to follow soon, I've only just driven back from Sydney....

Much much thanks to Shayne, Craig, Rob, Tim, Sam, MMSr, Simon, Pete and especially Esme for all your help, advice and patience.

And, much much thanks to Deus and Snap-on and all my friends who were there on the day!

A false calm...

It's the end of week one and just 47 days remain until the deadline for the Deus Build Off. A plan has been laid out and the first week's progress has been good, though I still don't know if my bike runs... lucky I haven't entered yet...

The race is on....

With 54 days remaining until the deadline for the Deus Bike Build Off I've decided it's as good a time as any to start!

Model: Shayne.

Shayne is sporting this years latest fashion - the donated bike - much thanks!

Don't judge me by my welding

I've spent the weekend using some metal that's been leaning against the workshop wall to make a bike carrier for the Caddy. The big hoop of metal was already welded that way but I fabricated the two posts with the quick release axles. The whole thing hooks into the tie-downs at the back of the bed, anyway, the test will be if the bikes stay upright!

Slowly moving forwards to look backwards... a bit...

This week I've changed the mirrors on the SR. While these are much smaller than the ones I put on originally, they stick out further and I now get more than a view of the back of my hands. It will take some of the aspect of Russian Roulette out of lane changes.

The perfect project...

The perfect project is the project that keeps on giving - a project that facilitates projects while being a project in itself... my new Volkswagen Caddy!
