    *Al Lieffring, do you have a gallery? I'd like to see some close up
    pics of how you attached the top and bottom wheels to the frame. Did
    you use bearing holders? The bottom wheel is a regular 20" bike wheel
    right? I bet it looks great with a yellow frame!

    Thanks

    I'll have to go and find up how the setup works on the photo gallerys
    here. When I do I'll snap some pix and post them.

    At the upper wheel I used main cap holders. Because I didn't think the
    dinky 6mm bolts could take the load I bolted a bracket over it to hold
    the upper and lower frame together. I have oval slots for the center
    axle and at the bottom dropout I have a backwards tensioner. Screws to
    push the axle up instead of pulling like a chain tensioner. The pressure
    needed to keep the tires from slipping tend to spread the wheels apart.
