wuhoo!! Add another washer!

Nick it looks fantastic.

You'll like this bike the best cuz of how hard it was on you in the build most likely. It's worth it.

I like those handlebars.
+1! Curious what you're gonna do for grips?

Great looking build!

I have 2 other sets of handlebars to try out :wink: I have a nice pair of black grips for whichever ones I choose 8)

UPDATE 15


Mounted the chainguard this afternoon :wink: Took a little fabricating work with the Dremel to clear a notch for the tire :D I think it came out pretty good :mrgreen: I think I'm almost done. I have a few details and bar choice left :wink: I might run bobbed fenders too, but I'm not sure :mrgreen:

Cool. Get those other handlebars on there so we can get about a dozen people divided up evenly telling you each bar is the best. :mrgreen:

That's what I was planning :lol:

Re: ★★ Hot Rod Deluxe ★★(UPDATE 15- Chainguard Mounted)

Better and better.


I still think you should have used the steak knife on the tire.
 
Re: ★★ Hot Rod Deluxe ★★(UPDATE 15- Chainguard Mounted)

So glad you stuck with that chain guard. Totally worth the effort.

Now I look at that fork and wonder how it works. I guess when the wheel hits a bump the force goes up and compresses the spring from the bottom? Interesting. Glad you saved the fork too. This bike is sweet.

Yoothgeye I think that's how it works :wink:
