Title: Oregon test ride - thankfully it didn't work out.

As if she didn't have enough bikes I just mentioned casually maybe my wife should try it and all of a sudden it became she'd take it till I was able to ride it.
Here it is with the euromesh seat, new bars and the 406x1.95 tires as Christine attempts to add it to her collection.

Thankfully a lot of crank/wheel and pulley interference in addition to constantly dropping the chain ended that *phew* Now I just gotta get to where I can ride it.

Nice to see it all back together Mark! I hope to get some testing in this week on the CB but we'll see. At least the house is almost painted, and the library shelves just need to be trimmed... [smiley=tongue.gif]

Thanks it was good to see it moving even though I'm still not ready to ride it. Christine was having lots of problems with the chain. I was thinking it was because of the larger tire size I put on but I think it was more because of the tread on that tire. Instead of just sliding along like on a slick the chain is getting grabbed.
I gotta remember that for when I try it out.

Looks like next week might drop below the 100s to after your finished with those library shelves might get a chance for a few rides [smiley=beer.gif]

Wow 1.95, now no one can give me grief about 1.5's ! Hope to see you flying on it soon. Set my top speeds in the State of Texas on the ol'Oregon.

Take Care,
Nelson.
