Re: Black Coffee & Cream (fork Fix - 5/31)

should work just wonderfully.

Re: Black Coffee & Cream (fork Fix - 5/31)
thats what ive done before(you might want to weld a washer or something on the top to keep it from falling into the frame though)

maybe it is just the scale of the photo but that looks really long for a tank. i think he is making a wooden chopper fork :shock:

Re: Black Coffee & Cream (Mystery photo 6/4)
good guesses!
it really is going to be a tank.
butcher block style.
going to bandsaw it out about 1/2" bigger all the way around.
then i am going to cut it in half longways.
then, i will route the inside edges with a reverse half round bit.
the halves of the tank will then (hopefully) fit together snug up to the frame and i can run through bolts/screws to hold them together.

Re: Black Coffee & Cream (Mystery photo 6/4)
so i had to wallow out the front dropouts a bit so the fat axles on these Nirve wheels could fit.
here is the seatpost fix. i welded around the bottom and ground smooth. fits nicely. thought i took a photo of the finished product.
now here is a VERY early mockup.
i obviously have lots of work to do, but i am diggin the stance.

Re: Black Coffee & Cream (Mockup 6/9)

i am too impatient.

Re: Black Coffee & Cream (Mockup 6/9)
man i'm digging the stance as well. short and fat and stripped down! this is the sort of style that got me hooked on this site! unfortunately i don't see so many bikes that I really go wow over.. but it's great that everyone seems to be getting there hands dirty and giving it a go. Well done!
