ummm awesome!
i always wanted to get it as a tattoo. never happened though.

[blink]

ok, i mocked it up with the fork.


steering tube is too long!
any suggestions????

Ive used the threaded bearing race from another bike, with the threads ground out. It still sits in the bearings,but isnt "attached" to the steer tube. Then re-use all the orig. parts. It works!

[OUTLAW]

how does that spring compress on that front end? is there a long bolt that goes thru and the bolt moves up and down or what? have never looked at one to see how they work. nice mock up.

that works or you can cut it down and rethread( make sure you can get a hold of the right die or find someone who can before though)

Sensor, you rock. thats exactly what i am going to do.
Cut a section of the steering tube out and reweld it with an inside sleeve.

awesome.

i just ordered some wheels.

this is my splurge for this bike. i have most everything else already.
i got all black Nirve aluminum wheels.

i may get this.

ok i decided to go with an old solid 5/8" lucky seven seatpost.

i also have some pedals coming.....

and some grips....

still thinking about the chainguard.... maybe the one from the donor monark....maybe not.

I dont know if u can see in this pic too good but i just cut a pice of 2 inch roud stock to make up the differance. It worked out good for me.

You can also put a spacer down on the crown and use a bearing adapter tool/a.k.a. steel tape to snug the bearing to the neck.

[blink]

got one of these coming too...


and one of these....

Can that guy be trusted in that thread?

Don't cut the top off if it has that slot in the back or it will deform when you put the nut on (maybe). I'd bob the lower section and weld it back on useing that guy's thread as a guide.

naw graylock, i am going to use your method. cut an inch out of the lower part of the tube, sleeve in a narrower tube and weld it around, then grind it all down.
