I assume Spitty ?
Another question if l may?
Does just the one bolt hold the stand onto the bike ?

DM, yes stainless bolt and shakeproof washer, no nut, the stand is threaded so the bolt is a blind fit.Tomorrow will sort stuff out, the built front wheel, five weeks in the making is due, so pick it up, get innertube and tyre fitted, first time the Bomber has stood alone.

Re: Planes Bikes and Automobiles
With your photographs of Kitty HawkAnd the biplanes on your wall
You were always Amy Johnson
From the time that you were small
No schoolroom kept you grounded
While your thoughts could get away
You were taking off in Tiger Moths
Your wings against the brush-strokes of the day
Are you there
On the tarmac with the winter in your hair
By the empty hangar doors you stop and stare
Leave the oil-drums behind you, they won't care
Oh, are you there

Re: Planes Bikes and Automobiles
Disc done, got to wait for the Wife to get back so we can balance the frame high enough to insert the wheel. The Bomber is quite heavy and powerful so might have to buy a double disc set up hub, and have another wheel laced capable of running twin discs, if the single disc does not have enough stopping power.
