Awesome! Way more detailed than I thought... but should have expected. Thanks. HB Sent from my XT1635-02 using Tapatalk

I might have missed it but what bolts are you using to hold the holders in place? Is it multiple nuts and washers and tee nuts in the wooden drawer? HB Sent from my XT1635-02 using Tapatalk

Sorry to come back late to this but because of the costs here it makes it harder for us to experiment as much as you guys. If we get a design or plan a bit wrong it can be many hundreds of dollars down the drain so you hesitate a bit sometimes. I built a camper a while back and it took a huge...

Yes AUD. A cheap CD sheet from Bunnings (Lowes or Home Depot equivalent) is about AUD$79 and marine ply about AUD$177. How does that compare? I always thought your ply was much cheaper than here. Sent from my XT1635-02 using Tapatalk

So your into riding so much your even clipping in to your foot pedal!!! LOL!!

I love the exit holes for the internal cables on the seatstay of your latest bike. Beautiful details as always.

Christophe toe straps... they held the world together before duct tape and zip ties came along or Velcro was even imagined!! And they still do in my household :lol:

I've just read your whole thread from start to finish and I'm very, very impressed with your workshop, your fotos, your bikes and your life philosophy. Your eye for detail and design is wonderful and a couple of things you have said or shown over the length of the thread really hit home. I'm...
