PSA: My cargo bike project runs on old school tool vibes only

My grandpa's tools are still my favorite. Simple steel, no frills. Frame alignment used to be by eye and string. You got a feel for the metal. Now everything is digital. For my cargo bike build, I skip the gadgets. The old ways keep it honest. They just work.

Honestly, set a calendar reminder for quarterly checks (it's the only way I remember). Budget a little yearly for the inevitable small fixes, too.
