Single-Speed Street-Bike

So one warm, sunny, summery day a couple of years ago I was working in the 'shop when it occurred to me that if I had a bicycle, I could cycle to the newsagent (about 2km away) and buy an ice-cold Coke.

My attention span being what it is, I stopped what I was doing and went to the shit-shed to see what I could find. What I found was the remnants of a '90s aluminium-frame mountain bike and some other junk.

I set about stripping down the frame, quickly realising that that was the only part worth keeping, and so began a confusing journey of buying parts online to discover what would and wouldn't fit.

Bicycles have evolved to be much more complex and varied since I was a teenager. For example, fitting the 22 mm motocross handlebars to the the steerer tube of the aluminium forks required a handlebar clamp off a modern BMX. Which is simple in retrospect but quite frustrating to learn from scratch!  

So yesterday, two years, many start-stops and many hundreds of euro later I finally finished the thing, cycled to the the newsagent and got myself that ice-cold Coke!

Garage Day - Sharktooth TDM

So yesterday Evan came out to the workshop to fit a Yoshimura can to the Mercenary Sharktooth TDM. So using some metal from the scrap pile we welded a sleeve onto the can and fashioned an exhaust hanger...

The Mercenary Sharktooth TDM arrives at MERCENARY HQ...

This small section of scrap VW exhaust is overcome with excitement to discover it's destined to spend the rest of eternity as part of a Yoshimura can on Ev's Mercenary Sharktooth TDM Rat-bike. The excitement was contageous which is why this shot is out of focus.

Using the EXPAND-O-MATIC 2000© Exhaust Swager to finesse the section of scrap VW exhaust.

The VW exhaust section, invigorated by its experience with the EXPAND-O-MATIC 2000©, undergoes a panic-atack upon discovering it's about to get its ass welded to the Yoshi can. No-one thought to ask the Yoshi can how it was feeling...
