Vintage Japanese made early 80s Bianchi. This one is being turned into a fixie (fixed gear), will not be donating this on once complete (it is a project for me this time...). The plan is for a Celeste Green (or close to it) paint job (sort of a seafoam green). De-anodize and polish most of the...

I just acquired a 4X10 sheet of 063 (~1/16th) type 347 stainless. Type 347 from my research is usually used for high heat apps (like jet engine internals) it also appears to have very good corrosion resistance.

Canadian Tire has what I think is their new aluminum (and steel) floor jack on sale this week. On the site there are two reviews both are positive. They of course do not make the jacks themselves so any advice on a similar one that may have been made in the same sweat shop is also welcome (usual...
