Re: █ Flex★Liner⑦ █ THE TWINFLEX SPACELINER - - Trading Card
One thing I suggest for the first few rides with these home-engineered suspensions is the bring a couple of wrenches wih you. Stop and torque your bolts and nuts untill every thing settles in. In some cases you may even need jam nuts for pivot points.
I didn't do this for my photoshoot ride, so I had to stop and hand tighten a few acorn nuts against the jam nuts. Tonight I went through and re torqued everything and improved a few nut/jam nut/bolt/washer combos to improve things. I am jonesing for a Flexy ride this weekend.
I also changed out the seat clamps to get a tighter grip on the seat post. I want to make sure that I get everything tip top before next weekend's Savannah Bicycle Campaign's Midnight Garden Ride. Last year I won two contests there with BEER RUN for $200 at the LBS. I hope to do the same this year and maybe even win a Fat Tire bike they are giving away.

Had a great ride around town on my Flexliner today. It wasn't too hot before lunch. Had plenty of "cool bike" shout outs and dumbfounded looks when I told them that I built it. It's really funny how much attention the floating whiskey flask gets.
Here are some more photos to show off my city, Savannah.
Only 203 Days 21 Hours 57 Minutes and 45.8 Seconds until Saint Patrick's Day!!! Savannah had the second largest St Pats in the nation!!!!!!
This is where we were married 15 years ago. We can see these spires from our thrid floor porch. The Cathedral of St. John the Baptist.
One of Georgia's signers of the Declaration of Independence is buried here. Button Gwinnettt. He died shortly after and his signature is one of the rarest in the US.
Took some photos with the cool police cars at our downtown HQ. Check out the hood ornament and spotlight similarities with Flexy.
Sgt Jasper Revolutionary War Monument in Madison Square
The large painting in this gallery is our house.

It was a blast to ride around today! I also rode it down to the park tonight to listen to some of the free bands that were playing. The chainguard and TwinFlex lights really look sharp.
Not good cell phone night photos, but again it was so cool to see and hear peoples reactions. Once again the whiskey flask power pack was a hit.

Re: █ Flex★Liner⑦ █ THE TWINFLEX SPACELINER - Savannah Ride
Thanks man. It is going to be even more fun next weekend when I will be riding along with about 200 bikes on a 10 mile night cruise through Historic Savannah.
I think they usually run the old cop cars in some of the parades sometimes.

Received my 5th Place Prize bike fork beer bottle opener yesterday from dragnusa.
Christened it tonight with a Wild Heaven Ode to Mercy imperial brown ale. This is one of my favorite brews.
I love the bottle opener!!!!! Very cool idea and great execution on it!!!
Thanks Dragon!!!!

█ Flex★Liner⑦ █ THE TWINFLEX SPACELINER -Night Ride Costume
Saturday is gonna be a blast. Savannah Craft Brew Fest during the day followed by the Savannah Bicycle Campaign Night Ride and concert.
Your bike is considered part of your costume, so I am adding fins to the helmet and a backpack I will wear with the theme being Flying Tiger Shark.
Here is the helmet so far. Giving the fin a chrome look with my foil metal tape to match the bike. I think where will be lights involved here as well.
There is a $100 LBS gift certificate as the prize. I won it last year with my BEER RUN costume.

Re: █ Flex★Liner⑦ █ THE TWINFLEX SPACELINER -Night Ride Costume
Here we go with 20 lights on the helmet and 20 lights on the backpack Flying Tiger Shark fins.
This is going to be fun. I won't care much how silly it looks since I will have already spent the day at the Craft Brew Fest.
Wish me luck on winning the $100 LBS Prize.

We had a blast on the night police escorted night ride. I think there were about 500+ bikes.
I ended up winning third place in the costume contest.
Here are some photos that I have found that others took. The fins actually lit up pretty well once night fell.

In front of the Scottish Rite Temple Building (I love this architecture). Only 2 blocks from my house.
Care for a game of Flexy chess?

Went for a night ride and ended up at the local World of Beer.
Ran into two coold cool pedi-cabbers that I have met before that share a love for custom bikes and for craft brews.
While we were talking about Flexy one of there friends rode up on a Penny Fake-thing that the other guy had built.
I took some other Savannah nighttime photos with Flexy, but I'll just post this one for now.

That bike doesn't really match the penny fakething formula, but it's interesting indeed.
