People who know me are aware I am missing most of the fingers on my right hand. On modern bicycles, this is a big problem as the rear gears are shifted by using actuators on the right brake lever. This has proven to be nearly impossible for me. Over the years, I have experimented with all kinds of solutions, including an early version of electronic shifting (Mavic Mektronic).
This is a custom device, made by Kelly bike parts and is called a 'take off’. Basically it permits me to mount standard bar end shifters on a location near the left brake lever. My left hand is just fine, and from this location, I can shift both the front and rear derailleurs. It works so well, I have actually raced bikes with this setup and ridden in large pack events, shoulder to shoulder with other crazy cyclists.
When I was writing this up, I was going to say I have to be careful with this gizmo, as Kelly had gone out of business due to some unfortunate circumstances. However, as I looked on their old web site to add a link to the story, I discovered they are BACK in BUSINESS! This is great news, because Kelly makes awesome custom frames other cool stuff.
I am glad I featured the ‘Take Off’ in today’s photo, as I am not sure if/when I would have discovered that Kelly had returned from oblivion!

Custom House is an imposing Georgian building at the heart of The Shore area of Leith. Completed in 1812, the building retained its original use until 1980 when it became a museum store. When it was to be sold for redevelopment in 2015, The City of Edinburgh Council stepped in to acquire Custom House and appointed Scottish Historic Buildings Trust to lead its regeneration and restoration. After almost 35 years with no public access, the building is now being brought back to life as a thriving hub for the creative industries whilst the capital project to restore it is developed.
Throughout its history, Leith’s proximity to Edinburgh has ensured that its port is one of national importance. Until the late twentieth century, the existence of a Custom House close to the harbour was essential for the effective management of such a port. As a result, every major port in Scotland had a custom house and similarly-grand examples were built in Greenock, Glasgow and Dundee. However, the Leith Custom House pre-dates these and is the only survivor of the group to have so far escaped modern redevelopment.
The Custom House was commissioned by the Scottish Boards of Customs and Excise and constructed between 1810 and 1812. The chosen site, previously used for shipbuilding, was auspicious in that it was prominently visible from the sea and lay adjacent to the entrance of the new East Dock, which was completed in 1806. Once the West Dock was completed in 1817, they could hold a combined total of 150 ships, all of which had to pass immediately behind the Custom House when entering or leaving.
The building was designed by Robert Reid. The architecture was specifically intended to give the building a severe and commanding character, reminding people of the power of the government. Reid utilised the increasingly fashionable Greek Revival style, most obviously visible in the two large Doric columns on the façade. The original carved and painted Royal Arms, used by the monarch of the time King George III, have survived in the central pediment and indicate the governmental purpose for which the Custom House was built.
As the space needed by the Customs and Excise Office began to shrink, other organisations moved into the building. This included a Post Office in 1906 and the Mercantile Marine Office in the 1960s. Finally, in 1980, the decision was taken to sell the building. It was bought by the National Museum of Antiquities of Scotland (now part of the National Museum of Scotland). Despite plans to open up sections of the building for temporary exhibitions, it was used almost exclusively as storage space for the Museum’s reserve collections. [Information: SHBT Website]

I'm starting a new project customizing a BVS Superman action figure! The main reason for this is simple! Although I really like the BVS figure as a show piece also wanted to add a figure to my collection to be used in doll and action figure comics and stories! The BVS Superman however is very bulky and posing is limited! My plan is to customize a figure that falls somewhere between the MOS Superman and the BVS Superman! This may be a complete failure but I hope to at least learn some things from this process! The first step was to remove the suit and take a look at the body structure!
So basically, this figure uses the MOS body with added prosthetic pieces on the thighs and lats! The body is also painted silver! The figures ankles and foot pegs are shorter! Many complained about the height of the MOS figure because he wasn't compatible with other Hot Toys 1/6th figures!
The suit is made of a pliable synthetic material that is fairly elastic and fits the figure like a glove! It's also somewhat sheer so that the silver body beneath can be seen giving the suit a kind of sheen!
I'll continue chronicling my progress as I go and hopefully I won't completely embarrass myself with a big fat fail!
