I keep so much crap because I see so many uses for it.

I probably won't get the designs up just yet. I need to figure out a way I could reduce stress on the headtube. I don't know how there would be any difference, but I am getting too ugly of a reading at that angle.
I will try different numbers, and see what comes out.

See, because I can't tinker for hours, I just use a program I wrote. Not as fun, but it produces results. Sometimes.

Exactly. It turned out to be a glitch.
Anyway, I am exactly the same when it comes to building stuff. I like to get the pieces where I like it, and hope it works but my living space won't allow it, so I just do that on a much smaller scale.
I just happened to have some books and free time, so I wrote the program on my calculator.
Its not as complicated as it sounds. All it does is asks you for the weight, angle, angle etc. and it punches the numbers in an equation on its own and gives you numbers back, which you have to figure out.

Anyway, you know what'd be cool? Finding a way to convert something small like a bmx. How could the cranks be raised, though.
My drawings are in the trash.
