Winner.

Just a thought, but before you spend all of the energy forcing those tires into the frame; Have you considered going with a set of tires that will fit the frame instead? Believe me I understand the appeal of those tires (been there, done that) but I had to back out of using them on my X53 for...

Good job on the handlebar patina and the pedal blocks are very cool!

I never get tired of those tires! Looks so brawny! I'm glad the Evanaction didn't work, I liked the beehive better from the start. The narrow rims like @Bike from the Dead suggested might give you enough. The Blackbird frame was probably more narrow than yours. I also used narrow wheels on it.

I like the rams horns just the way you have them. Just spin the grips around 180° and grip them from underneath. Rock'et like a Robot! :D

Don't forget the downtube (x3) on Bluebird's little sister the Skylark! BTW, those fat tires you've got will tuck into some Mullet fenders quite nicely! :wink1:

There are two pages now. Slackers beware!

Looks great Lee! I can't believe it took so long for the first ride though.:21: I personally do not like the look of a clear coat (especially gloss!) over the original patina. I would recommend a couple of light applications of boiled linseed oil buffed in. To me it gives it a much warmer and...

One of my favorite frames!

Well, the paint should be fully cured! Good luck with finding the parts, looking forward to the twin stik!

Good looking combination of parts so far!

A seat that big would have to have braces! It's more like a Barcalounger! lol Should be a fun project.:)

I'm looking forward to the showroom new finished trike! The video updates are a nice way to journal the progress too.

I like the bike and the name! Looking forward to it. The graphic is cool too! I really wanted to be there this week but it didn't work out for me. I did however send my latest build and it will be in the show at Monroe. Go check it out!

Wow, that's a tall bike!
