Or summer, if you're in that part of the world.
We have tons of BSO's at the co-op. My first tallbike was pretty crappy, so I'm planning to build one where the steering tubes actually align and the brazing doesn't look lumpy.

i mean to paint this bike
i actually got it mechanicly done last spring, but it rode so nice i didn't want to take it apart just to paint it while the weather was nice for riding. the plan is to have it ready in case i want to use it for the memorial day mayors bike ride.
beyond that, i have project add. there's a handful of other projects, so i'll work on whatever i find parts, cash, or ideas for.

ok, little side rant over. the small upside is i have a few to experiment with. at least one will be a stretch cruiser cargo bike attempt.

Going to make a surfboard-inspired rack for my Varsity cruiser (see signature). Also want to create a cool lighting system. I have and old glass VW taillight and a VW Squareback backup light. Bought 5 LED flashlights at Home Depot for $8.00. Just got to make it work- this bike is a rider.

so many ideas, so little...time, opportunity....
i've already started a moving bottom bracket recumbent, i got a kickbike to do, and the steer tube of my tall bike needs re-welding after 7 years !
