Bikes: Many

I got a good ride in yesterday finally. I have been spinning indoors quite a bit but the two hour ride in stiff wind totally wore me out but it was soooo awesome..

I made stuff. I got that shape-tube bike done, the shop looks great and I wrapped up another 20 pr of Bullseye cranks and got them shipped. My sugar-makers stayed out of trouble and only blew one steam coil. The people that made the coil used square tube for the manifolds at the ends. When the coil comes under steam pressure, the flat sides of the tubes flex out and cause a reverse root bend and failure. People should know this before if they are making and selling pressure vessels.
