My photos are out of order, because they’re on different computers right now. I’ll get them all up there some time.<\/p>\n
Waking up for a 7am phone call from our sales engineer in EMEA mad working from home and then heading over to Colin’s shop work out alright today. I finished welding my first Haulin Colin knockoff trailer<\/a> today. Colin let me exchange some help with some projects for the use of his design. I’m going to build two, I’m planning on one for regular Alleycat Acres use and one for personal use. I’ll wrap one up before I leave for Maine next week at least. You’ll be able to get a production version of this made by the man himself pretty soon from Dave<\/a>.<\/p>\n It’s bigger than my initial bicycle canoe trailer prototype, but will be more useful all around. I don’t know about carrying this one with bikes in the canoe for bicycle + canoe camping, but I should be able to rig up an alternative hitch system to use this for that project.<\/p>\n I got a head-tube race removal tool recently. JR asked if I couldn’t just borrow one from Ashok and I told her if I was going to spend my disposable income on anything it might as well be bike tools. In any case, the pile of parts in the garage keeps growing and I’m not doing very well on getting out there to get any of the projects done. While Sunday is once again dedicated to Alleycat Acres, I’ve only committed a couple hours of Saturday to volunteering so far. So maybe I can work the pile down a little then. I should have everything I need to finish the Volpe handlebars (camping\/touring), build the xtracycle, and get the brakes back together on the cyclocross bike by the end of the week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" My photos are out of order, because they’re on different computers right now.
