Re: Fat & Sassy

Send it up here when you're done

 

[Uncle Stretch]

Well at least everybody likes it. Thanks Luke...King and Steve. I hope the bb mounting goes well
and doesn't detract from the build.
Oh and Steve if it turns out nice it may become Trading Material for a bike I want.
Maybe I can swap it for a new Worksman LGB. :wink: Maybe just dreaming , who knows

Re: Fat & Sassy

More bikes for Chuck?

 

[Uncle Stretch]

Just me dreaming. You never know who would want an Uncle Stretch Creation in exchange
for a LGB. Or if anybody would.

Zaaaaaazaaaaaaaam! I'm on the hunt now. Lol

Paul. Looks good. Since I saw you trying to expand your horizons on Chuck's bike with a "Holey plate" How about a Tank Plate/Gusset?

my photochop skills suck but....

 

[Uncle Stretch]

Clancy I had thought about it, but since it looks like there is a big possibility of this one
heading to Chuck's too....he isn't real fond of tank plates or speed holes. If he gets it we will
see what he comes up with....Other than a big collection of Uncle Stretch Bikes. :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[LukeTheJoker]

Chuck is one lucky fella...

Luke.

 

[Uncle Stretch]

After further secret negations its official.....Chuck has another frame heading his way when its finished. :lol: :lol:

 

[MIGZ]

Chuck you lucky dog

 

[sensor]

Hmmmm. Uncle Stretch is holding secret meetings! :shock:
Looks really nice and I know it's to late now but I figured out a way to make the original stay work.
Looks really good and I LOVE THE NAME!

 

[Uncle Stretch]

Sensor really I ran by Chucks. Since it was just him and me it was pretty secret.

 

[sensor]

SHHH! Don't give away my secrets!
By the way. What is an LGB?!?

 

[Uncle Stretch]

Its a worksman version of a Schwinn cycle truck bike. Stands for low gravity bike.

 

[LukeTheJoker]

Sorta like the old Royal Enfield low gravitys?

Surely you with your skills could make a better one than a mass produced company can?

Luke.

 

[Uncle Stretch]

Luke I....like you have a few skills, and may can build a better one eventually , but just want one.
I may not ride it much but when you get it in your head you want something you figure out how
to get one. :lol: They are unique enough that I think one would ba a nice addition to my stuff.

Actually, I had an ulterior motive in asking you... My brother in law has asked me to build something along the lines of the Royal Enfield I posted, figured I would let you go first and I could just follow along... Ah, well...

Luke.

 

[Uncle Stretch]

Boy you got the skills. You don't need any help from me.
I plan to get an occ chopper and use the fat wheel for the front. Then a big momma something for
the back. One out of this 1 1/2'' tubing might be killer. That is for a future build though.

Got the BB on and it looks pretty good. Thought it might detract from the frame , but seems to fit
in nicely. Still have the hole in the front tube , and the seatpost to finish.

 

[Uncle Stretch]

Got the seatpost in and welded. Worked good. I slipped a short piece of 1 1/4 pipe in the 1 1/2 tube
drilled through both and then slid my actual seat post cut out of one of Chucks bikes last night. Then I
plug welded through both holes and sanded it down. It reduces a 1 1/2 tube to a seat post size.
Getting closer.

 

[Uncle Stretch]

Everything is welded and then all of them ground down. The first coat of bondo is applied. Most of it
will be sanded off and then another lighter coat will be applied. YUCK!
