That is fantastic! I love the use of the entire bike fork with the "tail" section attached to top of the extended steer tubes. I might have to try something similar with one of my new projects.

Hi there! You left an aggressive comment with offensive language on our YouTube channel and I supposed you'd never come back to read it so I'd like to post my response here. It seems you have a bicycle shop. How wonderful! So you probably understand all about earning money, being self-employed and how the whole 'being paid for providing a service' thing works... Just to remind you, you said "I'll never understand why people have the gall to have a patreon page when they live in a ***** chateaux". My response: It’s interesting that people get so upset about this. I wonder if I can get you to see it from another perspective or you’re just determined to hate us. Patreon is a modern version of patronage for the arts. It allows micro payments towards artists who produce entertainment and art for free, because these days it’s very rarely paid for. We’ve produced hundreds of videos (an art form just like any other), taking thousands of hours, but we get paid very little for this as it’s free content. For example I would generally take around 20 hours per video to film, edit and prepare for YouTube. That’s half a week of work. And I get paid by YouTube advertising between 50 and 120 euros for that video. That’s far less than the minimum wage. Patreon is a way for me to have a guaranteed income each week for my video production, enabling me to keep it free for everybody else. It’s also not something for nothing. Our lowest tier is €2, and in return people get exclusive access to what goes on here behind the scenes, live chats and extra videos about history and all sorts of other things. They have personal relationships with us and we give them free visits. It’s been the start of some of the most valuable relationships in my life and the community has supported us with their love on countless different occasions. I like to think we’ve done the same for some of them too. But as it’s base you could say that it’s just like paying for a video streaming service or a podcast service or something. I don’t know why some people seem so upset about it and seem to think that because of where we live, we don’t deserve to get paid for our work. Without Patreon we would simply have to stop YouTube, which is free entertainment for tens of thousands of people. We enjoy sharing our content but we expect to earn money for our work, as I think pretty much everybody in the world does!

It's like I get but I don't get it.. Okidoki
