Photo dump of the build process

Yep, that's it! The new bars are going to keep it from being able to do that, they'll be worth it though.

Thanks! Yes, there's a gap along the bottom I certainly won't be going over any speedbumps, it's about 2.5" from the ground with 29x2.125 tires

I'm throwing my hat in the ring with my upcoming build. This frame and fork was made by my friend at Custom Coastal Cruisers. It's currently getting bars built for it then I'll have it to build my own way. I'm starting to collect parts for it, I'll be updating this thread with build photos from...

Temporary parts/bars on it now *picture removed*

A lot of where it is was buttoned up in the last month. its ridable but raw metal, handlebars still need to be made, then I'll get it, add my parts and get it powder coated.

I wanted to enter a custom bike, it's in the final stages of fabrication (being done by someone else) and I will be building it out once I get it. It will be a joint entry and I have progress pictures of it being built. I'm assuming it would be an unlimited build. Thanks

Ugh, when you don't visit the forum, you miss the build off for what you just built

I honestly wish I was furloughed or had to work from home during the pandemic, but my work has been busier than ever and I haven't had much free time or energy to devote to it.

I came to the conclusion a couple weeks ago that I'm just not able to get the bike finished by the deadline. Its certainly getting done though. Is there any way to have my thread moved to the general "builds" forum?

Dropout work

Really liking the hidden chain look

Not sure of the frame builder, Charlie Kelly thinks it might be his old Craig Mitchell, but that's not confirmed. Yeah, newer suntour thumbs, but they look the part. The suntour levers let you grab a lot of brake, that helps slow it down.

Great build, I just got this klunker project I built up with some parts I had been hoarding.

Really enjoying this one, can wait to see the finished product.
