The project requires a lot of work, lots of tools, and some equipment to actually become a functioning bicycle maintenance and repair station. The estimated cost for paint, lighting, electrical upgrades, workbenches, equipment, and tools is $1100. An in-progress list of things to buy with the allocated funds is included at the end of this message. Note that it is subject to revision. The Proposal is to be funded by SYN/HAK. (full text on the mailing list) OBJECTIVE A working Bike Shop at SYN/HAK, with the proper tools and necessary equipment, will be a valuable addition to the list of services, activities, and opportunities already available at the space. It will be an investment in the future of SYN/HAK, in that it will serve as a major point of interest and activity for both members and non-members. A Bike Shop will provide users with everything needed to perform bike maintenance, do repairs, restore old bikes, repaint bikes, and fabricate new bikes, trikes, and carriers. SYN/HAK will be able to provide users access to the tools and equipment in the Bike Shop most any day of the week, depending on the Open Hours schedule. It will be the only Bike Shop in the Akron area that is open to members and to the community at large (and free of charge) that will permit all the activities needed to do maintenance, repair, restoration, and fabrication on bikes, including welding, painting, sand-blasting, and tube-bending. In addition, the Bike Shop will be a new area of learning that will offer one-on-one instruction by volunteers and monthly classes by members or invited experts on certain weeknights and/or weekends. It will also serve as a place to accept and distribute bike donations. There are no plans to sell parts or accessories at the Bike Shop or charge for any services in the name of SYN/HAK. There are no plans to charge for access to the Bike Shop for anybody. The Bike Shop will be a year-round activity point at SYN/HAK. $1100 to develop a bike shop paid with synhak funds for the benefit of the community Justin: what do you think? Angelo: Have a bunch of tools for a bike shop that I need to get rid of. Some will go to summit cycling, but the others could find a home at SYNHAK. Justin: As far as costs go is 1100$ reasonable? Angelo: Yes I can work with that, and what is listed would cover 99.99% of repairs. An: A lot of these tools look like things we could need around here anyways. Justin: I think it is a good idea, though I have a concern about our current budget situation. Maybe table it until we are solvent. Alex: We do have grand money that we could look at, but we have to keep track of our financials and see if it is workable. Akron loves bikes though and this is something that would be nice to bring more attention to SYNHAK. We can discuss it on discuss@ Phillip: this is a formal proposal so I need a second from a member. I would just like to open it for discussion for one week and bring it up for a vote next week. Even if we don’t have the money I could still use the approval to get somethings started. Time is short to get this up and going because cycle season ends in September maybe October. Angelo: There is no reason why you can’t have a donation can like other groups do. Could be used to raise money for this. Phillip: I have had complete strangers come through the door asking for a few simple bike services. And have been asked if they could donate. James: Would really like to start 2 classes, going through SAMS how to teach yourself C in 21 days. Would like to form the free classes, however I think it would be a good idea for everyone to donate a buck or two. Then go through the C++ book as well. Also I’d be very interested in starting a group of those interested in laser display technology. Me and craig would like to start a group in speaker design and building. Craig: With the idea that we could have a presentation here and use the space as a venue. Alex: I would like to help with the C class and we can start a class with a schedule once the new mediawiki gets up. James: I would be comfortable with once a week at less than 4 hours. Would like to sit down with those and talk about internet service. *Discussion:* Andy: Grab a computer Steve: Sure --Meeting ends—
