Clown Bike This has been my ‘car’ for the last 2 days. Hopefully the car will be out of the shop today. They ‘guaranteed’ that if I left it overnight last night it’ll be ready first thing this morning. If not, all hell is going to break loose. I got a new mirror, this one is just barely long enough to be useful, unlike the last one I tried. It also has regular metal mounting hardware, so if I need to extend the arm, I probably can with $2 worth of hardware from Home Depot. The front gears need adjustment. I tried yesterday, but it still won’t shift into third while I’m riding. (Even though I had it shifting while I was working on it.) I think I finally cured it of shifting into neutral when shifting between first and second. Specs: 21-speed (3x7) Schwinn Hybrid Aluminium rims Trigger shifters The equipment currently on the bike: Headlight Taillight (back of seat post) Rack (came with bike) and basket (bolted to rack) Clown horn Mirror Fatass seat Quick release on the front wheel and seat post Master 5’ cable lock I’m not in the habit of naming my possessions, but if I were, she’d be named Bozo.

Clown Bike

This has been my ‘car’ for the last 2 days. Hopefully the car will be out of the shop today. They ‘guaranteed’ that if I left it overnight last night it’ll be ready first thing this morning. If not, all hell is going to break loose.

I got a new mirror, this one is just barely long enough to be useful, unlike the last one I tried. It also has regular metal mounting hardware, so if I need to extend the arm, I probably can with $2 worth of hardware from Home Depot.

The front gears need adjustment. I tried yesterday, but it still won’t shift into third while I’m riding. (Even though I had it shifting while I was working on it.) I think I finally cured it of shifting into neutral when shifting between first and second.

Specs:

  • 21-speed (3x7) Schwinn Hybrid
  • Aluminium rims
  • Trigger shifters

The equipment currently on the bike:

  • Headlight
  • Taillight (back of seat post)
  • Rack (came with bike) and basket (bolted to rack)
  • Clown horn
  • Mirror
  • Fatass seat
  • Quick release on the front wheel and seat post
  • Master 5’ cable lock

I’m not in the habit of naming my possessions, but if I were, she’d be named Bozo.
