Pogward Bicycle Industries: April 2014
http://pogwardbicycleindustries.blogspot.com/2014_04_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 16 April 2014. I may have mentioned that I was not 100% happy with the forks on the Fatness, the biggest issue being the steerer tube flexing quite disconcertingly under load. This was because I used straight gauge 4130 where I should have used a proper butted tube. Various tiresome things have got in the way of doing anything about it, but now things have progressed. This stalled things because I want 100% confidence in something as stressed as a fork and I fell into framebuilders funk. Some ...

Pogward Bicycle Industries: Mist Green and Monstertrucking
http://pogwardbicycleindustries.blogspot.com/2014/05/mist-green-and-monstertrucking.html
Thursday, 1 May 2014. Mist Green and Monstertrucking. So, having been pretty satisfied with the performance of the new forks in a wide variety of situations, and becoming pretty annoyed at how quickly the current weather was rusting things up, I dropped the frame off to my favourite powdercoating. Outfit on Monday. I checked in on it halfway through the week and while it was definitely coloured in the manner I wanted, it wasn't as industrial as I required, so we decided on another coat of clear matt.

Pogward Bicycle Industries: February 2013
http://pogwardbicycleindustries.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 27 February 2013. Preparing for the first commute. Stoked with how it rides. Yet to do list;. Fine finishing of the joints, the pics below tell me a story of how much more is needed. The chainstay bridge, this is only so I have something to fix the mudguards to as I will probably be running these. I reckon I will tweak the position of the rear brake bosses, probably no one else can see it unless it is pointed out, but the funny angle is bothering me. Drill and tap the front fork mudguard mount.

Pogward Bicycle Industries: January 2013
http://pogwardbicycleindustries.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, 19 January 2013. A Circumhorizontal arc, Mammatus, and a set of forks. At last the long awaited Himalayan-like pinnacle of frame building has arrived, actual brazing! I also managed to get silver pretty much everywhere, and spent a fair chunk of time cleaning all that off. This gave me an excuse to buy some more tools, to be exact a set of rifflers. All through this I spent a lot. If I didn't know any better, I would say that these look like a fairly convincing set of forks. I have a few things...

From Blob to Enduring Love of Velo: March 2012
http://ilovetobikelots.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
From Blob to Enduring Love of Velo. Thursday, March 29, 2012. Crossmarks – Not the Ideal Wet Riding Tyre. The rest of Rollercoast was a slippy slidey mess, but I found the little pinches way easier, which pleased me greatly. And here is the view of my monster getting a little snuggly on our return. I love my bikes. My cat is cute. Saturday, March 24, 2012. PS - That night we had the most epic pizza eva, so delicious and vast that we couldn't even eat the whole thing. If you're staying at the Rotorua ...

Pogward Bicycle Industries: Shift up, slow down
http://pogwardbicycleindustries.blogspot.com/2014/10/shift-up-slow-down.html
Wednesday, 1 October 2014. Shift up, slow down. Alrighty then, it has been a while. I have wanted to move away from suburbia for a long while now, and had droned on to my wife for so long that I got an 'Ah just do whatever you want' response. As everyone knows this is secret woman code for 'I have a happy and enthusiastic acceptance of your charming if somewhat alarming foibles, and shall follow you to the ends of the earth my love'. So we packed things up and moved 385kms away to Nelson. The beginnings ...

Christchurch Tweed Riders: Picnic at Cranmer Square
http://chchtweedriders.blogspot.com/2012/10/picnic-at-cranmer-square.html
These New Fangled Safety Bicycles. Come one, come all, come if you like to dress up and ride bikes. The Christchurch Tweed Riders are a group of semi-unorganised, like minded individuals who like to look dapper and ride old and old style bicycles about. Anyone is welcome to join a ride, but there is a strict no carbon and no lycra policy. The punishment for either indiscretion will be merciless mocking and perpetrators having to shout the first round of drinks on the ride. Wednesday, October 10, 2012.
