RRBBO13 Project All In

Yep, they make polishing SUPER FAST. I use them all the time at work. I weld and polish food-grade stainless steel equipment.

 

Got tubes!

 

Whoah, that’s tight. My front end fits. Now, to check the rear...

 

Yikes, got lucky. I have about .250” clearance. I had to air down to get the axle to clear, then air back up.

 

It’s a roller!!

I need to trim .65” off the kick stand, but I’m done for today.

Anyone want to see it
mocked up?

Still need:
-Finish tail light, wiring, switch and bracket
-Fabrication of rear fender
-Order chain
-Find different neck, grips, chain ring, cranks
-Pull apart and send frame off for pinstripes

 

Now that's just a silly question that I'm not going to dignify with an answer

Glen.

 

I’m too impatient sometimes. Here is a cluttered photo for you to sort through.

Thanks for following along.

Now to pull it back apart so I can keep going.

 

The fatty wheels/tires look great on there.

 

^ +1 on the fattness!

 

I just found tall bars and looks so much better. It’s going to be a sweet ride.

 

Beautiful. Keep those wheels nice and true.

 

Working on the tail light wiring today.

 

I drilled a new hole for the wire so I can use the existing hole to mount the light. Used Monster Cable speaker wire dressing to pretty it up.

 

Schwinn made this vent hole for welding the frame. I am going to open it up and rout the wire internally to the seat. This cat 5 cable has a thick jacket for me to maneuver through the bottom bracket, but I want it to hold up over time and miles.

 

Snip!!

 

Not bad. My one-piece crank has plenty of space.

 

It’s hard to see, but I added some grommets to the holes in the bottom bracket. I used a c-clamp to smash JB weld epoxy and the wire against the side-wall. While that cures, I’m going to hack off that kick stand and blend the base to the frame mount.

 

Wow. Not as much room as I thought for this button.

 

Maybe these should be used somewhere....

 

Those are really nice beads
