I'm having a 2nd Annual Open House on Friday Oct. 19th. 

There will be bikes to test ride, materials and equipment to examine - Along with food and good people.

I'm wondering what else you folks are interested in, what would make you come out and bring a friend or 2?

I would love to see some unfinished stuff, a raw fork would be kinda neat!

Raw I've got. Along with finished bikes I'll have

- A uncut, unbent tube set.

- Frame joining technique examples

- Department store bike construction examples, bare metal.

- A handful of bare forks and frames in various stages of completion 

I want to see a bike designed to be ridden confortably while standing.

roast some marshmallows with your torch ;)

I'd like to see a demonstration of fork-bending as well as brazing of parts. 

Sorry, I knew I should have qualified this.... it needs to use standard parts and be able to carry cargo just like a normal bike, and fit on a bus rack. The pedal motion is not problematic at all.

Sorry to drag this slightly off topic-- was keying purely off the subject line.

A tradition pedal motion really isn't compatible with a standing rider unless the bike rocked back and forth. This is probably as good as it gets.

I think I can make this but it will be tward the end. Damn work!

No problem, Joe we'll be here. 

H- There will be a sneak peak - very preliminary, of the cargo bike I am designing for city use. 

Kevin - My torch is propane, so it would be fine for roasting marshmallows. ;)

James - I'll see what I can do, depends on how busy it gets. You could also come by some other time and I'd be happy to show you. Did you want to see brass fillet brazing or silver lug brazing?

I also know that Petal to the People will be open down stairs at the beginning of the nigh tif you want to check it out.
