What kind of frame geometry do I need when attempting to build up a classic city bike (front racks, etc)? Question: Im looking for a project :) Going to build a nice vintage looking city bike to use as a daily rider, Im just not sure what kind of frame geometry would suit this best. Any specific (attainable) frames you can recommend would be great help as well! Thanks :) Answer: This question is waaaay too detailed to answer here. If you are looking for a good frame, look at the Bob Jackson Legend. It is an excellent frame with style to spare. By the way, they'll build a frame any way you want in about 6 weeks for much less than most "custom" production frames. http://www.bobjacksoncycles.co.uk/ |

I wanted to do a vintage mexican theme, I was inspired by a wrought iron rustic looking wine rack we have that looks really good next to the orange. But now I am stuck, mainly on wall decor... help! anyone have a fabulous idea?

Luggage rack for vintage motorbike? Do any modern rack fit or maybe I can modify one? Question: I have not been able to find a luggage rack for my 1984 Honda Nighthawk CB 700 S and I am getting frustrated. From what I understand, luggage racks just require the bolt holes to be in the right place, but I can find no listing of what new or used racks would fit my motorcycle. So far, my searches online have found me lots of racks for Hondas and Nighthawks, but none of them for my year and make. Please help! I just started a job where I have to bring equipment with me on the back of the bike and the satchel barely fits on the back with bungees. This is what my bike looks like. http://hondanighthawks.net/700s.htm I am looking for a computability chart to learn which other years/models might fit... Answer: I've seen lots of sportsbike riders wearing backpacks to haul their gear. It's going to be tough to find custom made parts to fit a 28 year-old motorcycle. Perhaps you could find a "universal fit" unit and modify it enough to work for you. Try JC Whitney.com. The carry a lot of parts and accessories for older motorcycles |

What causes the minorities in LA to riot after a basketball game? Question: Why is it pleasurable to set fire to a rack of vintage shoes and sports memorabilia? Why is it pleasurable to try to rock someones vehicle as they're trying to drive down the road? Why is that fun? And why is the person behind the wheel always too scared to floor it like I would have and run them over? I'm normal - I'm human. So is there anyone who can explain their behavior to me? Answer: it's not all minorities, just uncontrolled sports hooligans, sadly they are a blight in just about every sport. |

a 1.40 kg bottle of vintage wine is lying horizontally in the rack.? Question: A 1.40-kg bottle of vintage wine is lying horizontally in the rack. The two surfaces on which the bottle rests are 90.0 degrees apart, and the right surface makes an angle of 45.0 degrees with respect to the ground. Each surface exerts a force on the bottle that is perpendicular to the surface. What is the magnitude of each of these forces?See More thank you..!! :) Answer: Obviously the other side is also at 45 deg wrt the ground, so we have symmetry. Each surface contributes a vertical force equal to mg/2. Since the total force at each surface is at 45 deg, its magnitude is sqrt(2)*the vertical force or mg/sqrt(2) = 1.4*9.81/sqrt(2) = 9.7114 N. |

What things do I need to know about when opening up a vintage clothing boutique? Question: Hi everyone, This may be long winded but I need as much advice AS POSSIBLE. I am about 2 months away from finishing uni for good. I studied fine arts (photography major) but have done a number of other things since finishing school, including fashion design and styling (my favourite). I LOVE vintage shopping and always have and have been told I have a good eye for those types of things. I feel like I could own a vintage store and where I live in Sydney there is a very popular area that doesn't have a vintage clothing shop, therefore I feel there is a niche/gap for one that stocks womens and mens items. I'm 22 years old, and I think I could do it. The main idea is this: open a vintage boutique, for men and womens clothing and accessories. It would be really nicely setup, have a range of cheaper but GOOD quality items as well as vintage designer stuff (like dior, chanel etc) and would be more like a boutique in that it doesn't have rack upon rack of clothes that people have to thumb through (as this would be exactly the same as someone going to vinnies or salvation army). I'm wanting to eliminate the searching for good stuff and have all the good quality stuff there for the customer. Also I would have a few one off pieces of my own label. So I've researched the heck out of this and this is what I've got so far: - Business plan - Budget (for the things that I can immediately think of) - Cash flow projection - Business name - Tons of info - Positive attitude (but trying to make myself aware of risks as well) The things I'm wanting to know about, especially with a start up business, is: - How can i get financing from a bank/lender in Australia where there is no collatoral needed to back up the loan? My parents wouldn't be able to take out a second mortgage and I would definitely need a loan. I'm thinking between AU$30-50k. - How much is an accountant and a solicitor and how much would I need to use them etc? - How much to pay myself to begin with - How much to pay an employee (as I would have to be out sourcing vintage clothes about 3 days a week) - How do I pay tax, how often, and how much? - Should I speak to someone who has done a similar job and knows what is involved, like a business planner or something like that? - How much would a basic shop fit out cost, as I'd like a lot of the furnishings to be vintage, not all new metallic racks etc. How much would I be looking at budgeting to get a nice website? How much extra to put an online store on there? - CAN I DO IT ALONE? I do not think I'd have trouble maintaining the stock for the store, but I don't have any accounting experience so would not really know how to keep on top of those sorts of things, like filing everything, knowing which expense goes where, paying staff etc. Also, any insurance, rent, accounting, legal, TAX, advice that anyone can give me would be AMAZING. I am a very determined person and feel as though I could do this really well but as I have obviously never owned a business before I need to know exactly what I would be getting myself into. If anyone has any FIRST HAND experience in opening a store and things that are unexpected costs, I'd like to hear from you, whether your business is successful or failed, any advice is welcome! Please only serious answers. Thanks in advance. Answer: I'll focus on the loan aspect of your long list of questions: without collateral, your chances are very very small Getting a business loan is NOT easy – especially with the tough economic climate. You just don’t go to a bank to ask for a loan with only your business idea. Banks look at other factors not just your credit score when applying for a business loan. Banks want to see: - demonstrated ability of the business to generate revenues -- businesses that are already operating and have at least 2 years' worth of financial statements that demonstrate strong profitability. Business ideas are just ideas; not proven to generate profits - ability to repay the loan through collaterals and assets - solid management team: they want to know that the business will be run by someone who knows what they are doing - excellent credit history - your investment in the business: they want to see that you believe in your business enough to put down your own money into the business If you have the above, then prepare a business plan. - The business plan is NOT the first thing banks want to see. It's important, but banks will need to see your ability to repay the loan. Sometimes, they won't even bother to read your business plan if they know you don't have any money. If you have to have a business plan, you need a good executive summary (as that is what they're most likely read, if at all) PLUS solid, realistic financial projections/plans |
