I have a hard time deciding which one to ride…

 

[CaneDog]

Nice! What's the dry weight on the blue one?

Uhh…inflated or uninflated? Please clarify…

You must have a hard time finding a filling station... with helium.

LOL - I inhale more than the bike can…

Back in the day I knew members of that club: The Flying Bikes

Had a blast cruising around in the dark tonight.

License plate lights weren't meant to be blue, but it looks cool on the seat. Like Obi-Wan and Vader in the mist, lol.

Little 70-mile loop this afternoon. Nice ride.

 

[Uncle Eckley]

Don't think that's a thing.

Are they glass packed? If so they get louder, not quieter.

I'm now totally convinced this is a thing, but it's got nothing to do with the exhaust. You get used to it. They seem markedly quieter now.

Got the ugly belt guard off. Proper removal requires the rear wheel to come off, but I didn't want to have to retension the belt or realign the wheel so I just hacked it off with an oscillating saw.
I'm working on a design for a custom front pulley cover.

 

[Uncle Eckley]

A few ideas for front pulley cover designs. Do we like any of these?

Black sun

Grill

Imperial cog with grill

used to it or hearing loss?

Nice lookin bike you have, maybe you can take me for a ride one day

Black sun - I like how the angle of the rays compliment the angle of the cylinders, and the roundness blends with the disc brake and rear sprocket. Ties the bike together, front to back.

Of course I'd have to see it on to be totally convinced, ha.

The sun is a bit "sea shell." In fact if you right click and search google for images only sea shells come up.

Lol, now I can only see a scallop shell.

I'd go bold/chunky, the fine lines suggest a filter/grille, I'd also try something horizontal to give more stretch than height to the feel.

 

[The Hot Pepper]

If it's these 3 I go with @sicman and vote C, it's the bold/chunky feel but I would lose that fine detail in the top portion.

 

[Uncle Eckley]

The pulley's gold if that gives anybody any ideas.
