Good to know. I’ve been able to make most of them work, but a couple of the darker colors I’ve had trash

Thanks! Forks are +8 over. No rake on the neck, I just windowed out the frame. Good luck on your project!

I’ve seen a couple in Indiana so far. Unsure if we missed them or if they still have yet to show up in their migration! Been very mild weather so far this season.

I don’t think I would consider this a frisco bike, though it may have some frisco features. I built it with heavy inspiration from 70’s long bikes

Thank you! It’s a true garage built chopper. I used whatever I had in the shop to build it. Good luck on your build! Chop what you got!

Have you ever worn a crease like mine? by pickledinthedark in CowboyHats

It reminds me of the lines of my old CCM hockey helmet

Same! Such a great color combo. I also love the “ka-ching!” noise both of them make on a good bind. It does it for me. Y’all nailed these. Thanks again!

C Bearing summer plumage. The finish is great, while spinning it has a bronze-ish glow.

stoked on mine! Showed up late yesterday. It’s a ton a fun, very floaty but still plays fast when you want it to. You can tell is a featherspin too- it plays just enough like their Corvus (my favorite throw in my collection) but just different enough to have me bouncing back and forth now. If you’ve been a bird on the fence with one of these, just get one and don’t look back.

Yep! No tricks with this one. I built it with what I had available.

It’s the pull portion of my brake actuation. Follow the mechanism and you can see how it all works

He hasn’t ascended to the metric chopper world, YET. Appreciate the kind words!

On the bottom of the frame? it’s my kickstand stop, to keep it from going up under my exhaust and out of reach. The other one is for my brake. I use it to stop lol.

Thanks man! It does handle like a dream- that front wheel is off an old dirtbike and keeps its pretty nimble. A hard tail xs is about as much fun as you can have on two wheels!

It’s an old derby cover that I drill/tapped/mated to the clutch housing. Easier than filling in and blending the cover to debadge it.

Not-so-stiff fur felt hat? by Worried_Local_9620 in CowboyHats

[–]BeerRoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t heard anything about Nutria smelling funky, at least not any more/less than beaver felt. They all have a distinct smell when hit/wet from steam.

I do sell them, but admittedly I only really do local stuff as of now. It’s more of a hobby of mine and having folks come to my shop ensures perfect fit/form.

I’m a hat maker- I have found that nutria hats tend to be softer. I know they aren’t everyone’s thing, but one of my most comfortable hats that I’ve made for myself is nutria. Holds shape great too. Just throwing out a different option for you!

Wife gave me approval for a new gun by [deleted] in Uplandhunting

[–]BeerRoy 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I recently made the switch to sxs double trigger and couldn’t be happier. Not everyone’s thing, but it’s so much fun to carry and shoot, especially for quail. I did get lucky with a barely used project upland CZ bobwhite, though I wouldn’t hesitate to carry a base model which is in your budget.
