Default ROD showed up this week

The ROD is a nice looking piece of equipment... Got a little saftey wiring to do on the linkage and need to order some 3/16 flat stock to fab up the removable x member. I have all the other parts so let the 6 link build commence...

BTW I went with 3.36 gears instead of 3.08 after building a excel model. I get a 11.0 final in 1st and a theoretical 185 at 5800 in 6th (0.80 Roadrace gearset). 2,3, and 4 are the same as I have today with just a tad wider spacing(not a problem with my Tq curve). 5 is 1:1 with a drop from 3.90 to 3.36
