The checker plate makes this machine, love all the little details as well, great stuff, low, mean and tough!
thanx,and it's good to clear the garage,my family chucks rubbish,broken stuff,junk into it as it is convinient,plus when the kids ride their bikes they don't hang them up again so it all just piles up ,but that's life
thanx,I like the plate too,at this stage I am down to the details,fix up a couple of scratches here and there
yer I was surprised at how smooth it was,and has a metallic content where as when I used it over 20 years ago it didn't have nearly as much sparkle and also the old stuff had more hammered effect,but it is tougher than normal rattle can paint I have used
I've never used the hammerite, but have used this ove the past 15 years many times. Pita to remove, but covers thick with slight metallic.
Looks wild!!

head badge sanded and ready for my artistic input.....not sure what that is yet
decided to paint the chain guard after all
and decided to remove the original SA orange T handle and use these 2 alloy scooter pegs for a handle instead.....and do some photo editing again
That headbadge looks like a phoenix rising! Loving how this build is coming along, I love the stance, it gives the impression of speed!
thanx,I was struggling between spring or no spring + the traditional conical style spring wasnt "race" looking so I took off a 750lb spring from a cheap rear shock from a duelie mtb (same length)fitted it tightened it up a good inch,cut off the end of the bolt so I could get the headset on and the stance is still nice and low,swapped out the stem sweeped back the bars to run parallel with the fork struts so bars are swept back.
put the handle bars up agian,didnt look right,think this stem suits better,was gona paint but will leave it as is
How well does that ride with the heavier spring on it? I was looking to use a one of the shorter 450lb mtb spring with mine, instead of the conical.
Cool idea using an MTB spring.
