SteamPunk Invention: March 2009
http://steampunkinvention.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Posted by Nick™. I found this SteamPunk bike over at SteamPunk Workshop. This is one of the best SteamPunk inventions I have seen. Riding one of these will definitely get some curious glances. The inventors are named Eric and Alan. They built the SteamPunk bike from scratch. You can see exactly how they built it at their blog. SteamPunk By Ann Vandermeer. Posted by Nick™ in Books. Posted by Nick™ in Art. This very cool SteamPunk Cyborg was drawn by rsandberg. Posted by Nick™ in Instruments. This is a gre...

Cycling Llama: Century ride
http://buckybikes.blogspot.com/2008/05/century-ride.html
Musings and Tinkerings with Bikes. Thursday, May 1, 2008. Last Sunday I joined Dan and Jim for most of Dan's proposed 200k ride. We continued along until the first stop at about 40ish miles at a sheetz. This was welcome for me, I was starting to get a bit of toe numbness and I just really needed to walk around for a minute or two. I was also starting to feel that I was pushing a bit too hard on the hills and my knees were starting to complain a little. Total distance: 111 miles. I found it really interes...

Cycling Llama: Wheel Building
http://buckybikes.blogspot.com/2008/04/wheel-building.html
Musings and Tinkerings with Bikes. Wednesday, April 9, 2008. Once I was happy with the dish, I did a rough truing then stress relieved the spokes by grabbing parallel pairs and squeezing as hard as I could all the way around the wheel a few times. Then I did a finish truing. I put a dial gauge on it, and I'm good within about 0.3mm. Good enough. Lastly I put the new cassette on. It's an 8 sp SRAM 11-28. All told it took a couple hours working at a relaxed pace and explaining to my 7yo what I was doing.

Cycling Llama: February 2008
http://buckybikes.blogspot.com/2008_02_01_archive.html
Musings and Tinkerings with Bikes. Thursday, February 28, 2008. The bike is done with the exception of a couple minor things (hand grips, toeing in the front brake pads, and making a little cap for the top of the steerer extension to be specific). Monday, February 25, 2008. To actually provide the heat source I'm using some stage lights that my dad stores in my garage when he's not using them. seems to work pretty well. Sunday, February 24, 2008. Thursday, February 21, 2008. Ok, so a lot more progress si...

Cycling Llama: Seat Building, Finished!
http://buckybikes.blogspot.com/2008/04/seat-building-finished.html
Musings and Tinkerings with Bikes. Monday, April 14, 2008. Seat Building, Finished! Ok, picking up from where I left off. Once I had the reinforcement on the ribs complete, I needed to put on the final back layer. For this I ordered some knitted fiberglass. I noticed that the knitted glass wasn't totally laminated in two spots on the inside of the rails. What I should. Have done was drill some small holes and inject epoxy to fill the space. What I actually did. Later that day I added the rivets to the no...

Cycling Llama: Cycling Goals
http://buckybikes.blogspot.com/2009/02/cycling-goals.html
Musings and Tinkerings with Bikes. Tuesday, February 10, 2009. Here are my cycling related goals for the next few years. At least 4 century rides. At least 1 longer ride (double century or 300k). Train for this year's MS150. Get back into proper cycling shape (i.e. lose 25 lbs). Do at least 1 weekend tour with the whole family. Design and begin construction on carbon fiber recumbent (possibly along with Dan. And maybe a couple others). Inspired by Malric. Design and build recumbent Trail-a-bike for Lexi.

Adventures in Steampunk: March 2009
http://steampunkadventures.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Welcome to the world of Steampunk, a step back in time and sideways in technology where dirigibles, difference engines, and death rays collide with Victorian styles and elements. Make sure your Anomaly Obscura Engine is properly calibrated and let the adventure begin! Tuesday, March 31, 2009. Of course, you timorous little coggie! Posted by Renquist Von Reik. Just this morning I was involved in an interesting discussion on the Steampunk Forums. To those fantasy inhabitants of our historical past, we've c...
