As you read this, I’m hopefully talking about Project Danzig with some engineers. Frankly, it’ll be weird as hell to be talking about this project while the sun’s up. It’s been an underground thing for so long now that I never really envisioned actual discussions and stuff taking place during “normal people hours.” But those discussions are happening today. Here’s hoping the thing can actually be fabricated. Might take a while to sort out all the details, but I’m pretty sure it can.

Yesterday was about thirty days long, but I made some time to finish offsetting Danzig’s lower pivot housing and swingarm last night, just to make sure I didn’t run into any total roadblocks. From what I can tell, the design should be able to shift over toward the non-drive side of the bike to make a good bit of room around the chainring(s). Really just a matter of how much tire clearance you’d prefer, versus how broad gearing options you’d like. But I think the design will lend itself to really good clearance.

So we’ll see.

Timely as it’d be, what with Halloween fast approaching, I can’t quite go with “It’s alive!” just yet. More like, “It’s being analyzed by engineers to determine fabrication feasibility.” Mwooohooohaahaa!

Here’s hoping everybody has a great weekend.
