The Cruzeum -- is Opem

[LarryOz]

Coming along. Walls sanded and painted and have now install the T&G ceiling. Here is a 1 min time lapse of about 14 hours of work. Good thing my son was here to help. I still have a bum left knee, so I also wasn't moving too fast. But the time lapse hides that part! haha

Can't wait!

I just got done laying the 1000 sf of vinyl plank flooring. Here is a 71 sec time lapse video of about 16 hours of work. I makes it look like it went fast! haha
Next up - doors, baseboards, other molding, shower, toilet sink and other bathroom fixtures. Getting close to being done!
Maybe I'll have the bikes in there by this weekend!

Hoping to have them in there within a week! It has been a long time coming.

The Cruzeum room is finally done!
You can now send me your Cruzbike if you want to include it in the museum!

I will be putting my bikes out in the space within the next week!

Haha, Larry this is amazing, albeit VERY jealousy invoking in nature. Sell me that S30!

Seriously though, that's awesome.

Cruzeum looks like a good place to put down an order for a new CruzBike. Any lemonade to sip while chatting rides and admiring CruzBikes? Lemonade stand I passed last week while riding near Fort Hunt Park, I asked how much and the girl said $2; times are changing.

 

[Velocivixen]

I’d spring for a cappuccino just to get a look at those beauties.

Larry will soon have my old V 1.0 as well to add to his Cruzeum. Can't wait to see the pics.

When you have 31 Cruzbikes (and 7 others), you have a lot of chains.
I decided to clean and wax all of them - 2 days later they are about 50% done.
So far I have degreased and scrubbed them all down, and then gave them each 3 baths in Mineral Spirits and wipe down.
All hanging to dry - next step is to give them more 3 baths in Denatured Alcohol, then dip in hot wax - probably 2 more days before complete

 

[Robert Holler]

Thats a lot of chain BLING!!!

And

Thats a lot of chain BLING!!!

And a lot of master links.

 

[LarryOz]

Had to move them all into my air-conditioned shop so they would not draw damp.
Then 3 baths and cleaning each in Denatured Alcohol, dry, then dip in wax and hang to dry.
47 chains all pretty and ready to go!

What a fantastic job you've done Larry.
Congratulations!

Finally found someone with more recumbents than me.

But not all appear to be Cruzbikes. Looked like a VeolKraft NoCom hung from the ceiling. Want to sell it?
