A couple of neat things from Philadelphia
There is this great bike rack a couple of blocks from my brother’s house in Fishtown. Not as functional as the Seattle Bike Racks, but much cooler looking. Click for big to check out details:
I visited Drew at Engin Cycles yesterday and he showed me a couple of ways to slot dropout tabs in the milling machine. The first one is for a trammed mill, the chainstay is rotated:
In the second one the head is rotated and the chainstay stays square to the table:
I like his method of using the V-block with a little shim of 058 tubing to hold the chainstay in place. He is a lucky guy to have two mills, one that can stay in tram all the time and one that he can move the head around on.
This sign in Delaware made me laugh:
I know the 35mph is for cars, but it made me think of a 35mph speed limit for runners.
Remnants of a steam tractor in Blackwater Wildlife Preserve near Cambridge, MD. There is some great photo potential of that on an overcast day with some good B&W film. Digital on a sunny day didn’t do it justice.
