Ohh yeah ! :)

gonna try to make something happen with parts i have and some fabrication

So far i laced up a set of wheels today ,
got a lady Hawtorn frame and fork as base,
seat and bars that were made for my last build but never made the cut,
1 fat 1 skinny tires

i will try to make this a roller in 3days for a ride i have next weekend , but will most likely be upgrated untill deadline

Welcome back! Looking forward to what you have conjured up this time around. RaT oN~!
 
Figured you weren't just building a girls bike...welcome to the party. Looks like you got something interesting cooking.

You buzzed down another tire to make it into that slick?

Glad to see you in the fun again! Your craftsmanship and style are always so cool to follow.
That was some quick restyling of that frame. I love the lines and flow so far!

i finished the welding but something moved in the rear , might just notch the dropout to make the wheel fit straight
anyhow , this is what it looks like after 1day :)

now thinking of a name change to : ''Time frame'' :39:

''Rat'' emblem donated by a friend

look what i found in the gravel behind while searching for something to park the my ride on .. a tractor bucket thooth
 
well , with the seat higher , a set of custom higher and more forward bars and propper pedals , this thing aint that bad after all :happy:
it changes the look ''for best or worst'' not sure yet ... good thing is now i can ride it confortably
ill take pics tomorw:nod:
 
You make this look way too easy...nice job...bike is looking cool.
oh i worked hard on this one , but the decision making , beautiful welds ,cleaning and painting took the dump , pretty much just tossing steel together not giving much ****
besides its not my first 1day build rodeo , i made these 2 babys last year , pretty much same cenario , boom bing bang zip zap pshh pshh and call it done :p

The bike has a cool vibe, and your signature stamp on it OHP! Take some pics for your final photo before you change the bars , etc. This looks cool as it sits. Then modify for riding later.
