Hi everyone,
In 2008 I built a Meridian, and not much later I had to sell it
I also got rid of all my metal working tools and all bike related stuff, save for a few odds and ends.
For the last few years I've been keeping an eye out at garage sales for tools and parts, and I've finally collected the needed welder, grinders, and parts bikes. Last week I purchased 20 feet each of 1.5" .083" wall square tubing and 3/4" .060" wall square tubing.
My design is going to need a jack shaft, and so I've started with at least part of that, so that I can make sure I can build it as needed. If I can't figure that out, I have to redesign the bike. Seems like a good reason to start there
I just bought a 6 pack of plans and will be borrowing heavily from them in many areas. I put up a video of the shaft and my setup, and a shout out to AZ! Here is the link:
I'll post more about it when I can.
