seat.......brooks b66(was gonna go on la cucaracha.....but didnt)
Image
sting ray forks and truss rods.....(truss' were gonna go on my wifes typhoon but didnt look right.....i think theyre electra)

tires are 20"schwinn spitfires. got a couple of other things to take care of(like make some brackets, find some bolts, get a 16" crank and chain ring, find some bars, and get the truss' bent to flow alittle better)
might not be a 30's colson when its done :wink: but how many kids do you see riding a shrunken mead around?

Looking good, and that idea to use wrench ends for the truss fork is great!
It can be fast, safe or cheap. Pick two.

well..........finally got everything structural welded up so its a roller now(and amazingly enough itll hold all 156#'s of me so thats a good sign :shock: )! got a donor frame for some tubing today and some bars that are currently awaiting the cuttoff wheel of death :mrgreen: soon itll be time to glaze everything up and start priming(think im gonna add a itty bitty tank to this one also)

btw..... wouldve put the shoes in the shot but i didnt want to take them off :wink:
