Hey Skipton,

Good to here you're getting a lot of work done.

Please be careful though, with massive doses of caffeine in the early morning hours,
You might cut off something you need later, including body parts :lol:

Post some pics when you can.

Good Luck

Great to see that SPEEDY got off the Hiatus.
Hey, a massive dose of caffeine can super-stimulate the creative centers of the brain too ! Works for me anyways. Jacked up on this end waiting to see the next installment. I wanna see some progress picts too. Don't come out of that basement until you got some photos! Then make another pot O' coffee and get back to it.

Let's Do this!

Thanks for all the comments guys .... I had just the right amount of caffeine today to get stuff done but not hurt myself :wink:

The pics won't show much progress but I got a lot done. FENDERS R DONE! took me awhile to get the rear hoe I wanted it.

But I like the look of it now.

Got all the front fender braces screwed down seems to be at just the right height. And it is ROCK solid :mrgreen:

The reflector will have to go somewhere else :wink: May be in front here

That is what this 36T :shock: :roll: chain-ring is for

Now it's time for some cold brewed Iced Coffee :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Bighit nailed it "haste makes waste"

Yesterday I was so fired up to use this "full chainguard"
Image

I spent some valuable time taking this crank off this 16" bike took of the chain ring and did not even notice that it does not have the extra hole
to hold it on the crank. plus the hole that is there is square...

Might have had to much coffee yesterday :roll: :roll: :wink:
Image

Chain ring was going to fit perfect
Image

Spent time gathering parts to get chainguard on
Image

Image

Small ring does not have the little hole for the nub. :shock:
Image
Stock ring just not going to fit
Image

So I think i will just use the stock chainguard ....should look fine

back to work.... got to get the tank mounted and shifter hooked up :wink:

Good news Bottom Bracket come off super easy ...
Image

Pretty dry on the inside
