Congrats to him on getting both a functional chain (rock maple oughta do it!) and a working ratchet/freewheel on his bike!

It occurs to me that the bike is probably very heavy. For weight savings he could hollow out the dowels used as his frame and put metal or plastic reinforcing mesh on the inside, and/or cut slots out of the disc wheels and wrap what’s left in reinforcing mesh.

The part that I still can’t get over is how incredible this is for anyone to do, let alone someone who is only 16!
