Brazing Brazing is like soldering, using brass rod instead of lead or tin. It is done at higher temps, normally with an oxy/acetylene torch, as brass has a higher melt point. Very strong method of joining metals. Not as strong as welding, but still good. In a former life I used to braze...

Does anyone else see what I see? There has been a lot of discussion lately about a children's model. Is it just me, or does anyone else see this as a possible step in that direction?

Metric bolts & nuts If you have a Lowe's or Home Depot near you they should have the M6 you are looking for in their hardware section, normally in the metal cabinets with drawers.

Carpet pad? I have seen others use carpet pad as an addition to seat foam, though not on bikes. Cheap in cost, thin enough to be able to build up to suit specific needs, and durable. I wonder how it would work here? Just a thought...

Uh, Charles, just a minute... Is that really a recumbent, or is it a crank forward? Just sayin.... /..\ 0

Duct tape If one was to try duct tape, I would suggest inflating the tube first as much as possible. Once the tape covers the puncture, heat it-with a lighter, match, or similar. Duct tape adhesive seals better and forms a more permanent bond when heat is applied. Better quality tape has better...

Okay... My location is listed in my profile. Can you not see this? If not, what do I need to do?

Is this for owners only? There are three pins in Pinellas County, Florida. Only one shows a bike listed. I do not show up at all. Do I need to "opt in" or something to show up with a pin?

Perhaps worth trying? For foam use I have heard of people buying carpet padding & gluing up the thickness they needed. Fairly firm foam, and cheap. Just an idea.

John, I didn't think it was John, I didn't think it was criticism. When I first looked at the pic it didn't make sense because it appeared as though the bracket attached to the frame, across the suspension. Just didn't want anyone else to make the same error in judgment. That's all. And I see...

Unless I am missing Unless I am missing something, kling's support strap as depicted above, does not disable or in any way interfere with the rear suspension. Everything is connected to the swingarm, as it should be. Actually, it appears to be a great solution!

Patience, my friend... Give Dan some time to evaluate and crunch the numbers. IIRC he has not had his Cruzbikes for all that long. And he seems like the kind of person that does not make decisions (or recommendations, or give advice) without due diligence being done. Patience, grasshopper...

Still happening for me Still happening for me John....

Seems that every time I log Seems that every time I log in, I have to enter username and password twice before I can get in. This is being done on the home page, not the forum page. Using Chrome on a machine running XP/SP3. Never had this happen on the old forum or site login unless I entered...

Have not bought yet. Have been in process of relocating to Florida, so everything is on hold until that is done. Jim is in Lumberton, about 3 hours straight down 74 for you. I'm sure he would be happy to have you drop in for a ride!

Is it just me or does this look like a center ring circus attraction? Why would I think that? I'm not an engineer and I see all kinds of issues...but it might would win some sort of design award in a school. Unless part of the criteria is practicality/reality of construction, in which...

I saw this http://www.amazon.com/Schwinn-Coronado-Womens-Comfort-26-Inch/dp/B0021I150I last night in my local BJ's Wholesale warehouse for about $150. What does the "collective" think about it as a possible kit donor bike? I do realize it's a hardtail...

Congrats are to be extended to Mariah, for she has done her part to change her life. Now comes the hard part for you Mark. Changing your life to help Mariah with hers. All of you are in my thoughts. I hope the best for you, now and in time to come.

Yeah, already in touch with Jim , and plan to stop over in Lumberton next time thru. Jim told me about Hawley's in Fayetnam. Trying to see if someone might be a bit closer.
