Here is the first part of my fall bike project. I had an unused frame sitting in my garage, and a box full of various parts from various bikes. So this frankenbike will end up being my bad weather ride. This first gallery is what the frame was, and now what it looks like after Drake Coatings of Monroe, NC got done with it.

Acclaimed as perhaps the most inventive and well-crafted animated feature ever, The Triplets of Belleville has quite a reputation to uphold. As the story goes, a boy named Champion goes to live with his grandma who encourages his love of cycling. She pushes him to enter the Tour de France once he’s of age, unwittingly enabling an evil plan by the French mafia to kidnap him. Hot on his trail, Grandma and her faithful pooch encounter some eccentric ’30s film sirens who aid their search. Can her new friends and Bruno’s nose help her find Champion?
The Flying Scotsman is a true story based on the inspirational and remarkable Scottish cyclist, Graeme Obree. In 1993, this unemployed amateur cyclist broke the world one-hour record on a bike of his own revolutionary design, which he constructed out of scrap metal and parts of a washing machine. Shortly after Graeme broke the record, he lost his world title when another cyclist beat his time. This only served to motivate Graeme to break the record again, while also battling mental illness.
