I like the way the city of Kalamazoo just stuck 12-inch faces after converting Edwards to two-way traffic. (The whole assembly is undergoing replacement, though.)
Very basic, just a stock-shaped chunk of wood and i piece of pipe held together by metal bands. can be made very easily in any garage with limited tools, and can be made to fire literally any ammunition provided you have the right size pipes. The orange thing is a piece of elastic and the thing its attached to is the hammer, to fire the weapon, pull the hammer back with your thumb and release, this will slam into the nail sticking out the back of the breech and hit the primer firing the round.
Along with a smoothbore barrel and a reload time of more than a minute,This weapon is probably unsafe to fire

This boy was playing baseball with his friend. The bat was a stick and the ball was a stone. I thought they symbolized the make-do and mend spirit of the Cuban people.

I wanted to see if the small wobble was the tire or the rim, but I don't have a truing stand.
I borrowed this idea from somewhere in the bike touring community, and it happens to work pretty well.
It turns out the wobble is a little bit the rim -- it was "close enough to true," but I wanted to be a bit more precise -- and a little bit of the tire.
This tire and rim combination is a breeze to mount, never leaks air and overall is pretty good. The problem lies in removing the tire, which is not as easy. If I partially remove the tire, maybe I can reposition it to get the wobble out. I don't know, I think I may be too picky and may just let this go.
And I removed the Salsa Wanderlust rack after I shot the photo.
