Saddle up, saddlers.
Before we get into whatever is ahead for us today, I like making things. Do you like making things?
It’s no secret that I’ve long been a fan of Headquake, but watching the following video has me gobsmacked;
HE BUILT HIS OWN DIFFERENTIAL!?
HIS OWN TRANSMISSION?
HIS OWN WHEELS AND TIRES?!
WHAT IN ALL THAT IS GOOD AND RIGHT IS GOING ON HERE?…
I’m absolutely losing my mind.
In news of product and product types of items, it was in this post I was trying to find these patches, and in the time since, I’ve not gotten a single lead;
Well, being the industrious individual that I am, I got in touch with my patch guy and he said he could make a short run of these for me. I don’t want to rip off the company or individuals who originally made the patch, but I’ve made all of the efforts I can think of to track them down and have come up with nothing.
I won’t be making these as a standard item in my store, and will do the minimum number. If you’d like one, sound off. Worse case is I’ll just get one made, and satisfy my personal need.
Dipping into the mailbag momentarily, the enigma known as Cheever reached out with the following video, which I encourage you to watch when you get a moment;
Also, I would be remiss not to mention that Skip Hess had a real Jim Jones vibe;
Anyway, it’s a really interesting clip, and I thank Cheever for sending it on.
Moving on, I’ve posted the following info in other channels, but I feel compelled to do so here as well.
last week I flimn-flazzimed pretty thoroughly about my new Squid SO-EZ, with no clear idea when it would be complete.
Well, with some real solid help from David over at FSA, I finally got the missing pieces, and get the turd on the road;
My real rust is even already starting to meld into the fake rust, and I’m 100% approving of it;
I’m sorry about the bike content. I’ll do better next time.
Now, in closing, as I have 110 other times, I’ll now present the brand newest and 111th episode of Revolting;
Take what you will from it and leave the rest as you giddy off into the sunset.
I want patches…..
Would like a patch

Now I want to custom paint my next carbon bike in Tweaker Camo for additional irony points.
What’s up with Patchaddict claiming a copyright to a similar version? Not sure if the one you’re after predates their 2006 inception.
The rectangular one? I dunno. I’ve seen that one plenty, but I want the round one.
