Cool work on those trusses.
Why don't you tap some threads inside the truss to bolt them up to the stem bracket?
 
Nice formwork on the ends, I never considered pressing a seperate end on them. Ive shoved a steel "puck" in the end of conduit before to make a stronger bolted joint.
If the tubing is galvanized, try polishing it, you can get a reasonably shiny finish.
Looks like a really fun build, Im having fun following it. :)
 
They didn't come out bad! The paint I had on hand that I thought was ivory was more of a spoiled cream color and dried darker than expected. I'll have to respray with a lighter color then we can call this one done!

Slick work all the way around!

And yes, you nailed that color..
Spoiled Cream. I can smell it from here. :21:

Nice mini klunk.
 
Love this lil build. If a pig bike is an older bike setup like a muscle bike, would that make yours a PigMX?
 
Hey @kingsting , the Finished Build thread is up and running! Toss this mini Klunk into the mix on there. I still like that rear tire angle for your top photo!

RaT oN~!

I want to get some pictures of it with a better background than my neighbor's houses, then I'll throw it in the finished bikes thread. I'll definitely do another from that angle- I like it too!
 
So my wife pointed out to me that the gold fluted seatpost and red grips didn't look quite right. She has better eyes than I do for stuff like that so I had to agree...
This thing uses a short, strange diameter post but the build doesn't really require a longer one so I put the original back on. This also eliminated all the ugly beer-can shims I had to make to get the BMX post to fit. It is is actually nickel plated, not chrome and received a quick polish. While it was in the stand, I swapped out the grips with some black ones. The red Ourys will end up on another project eventually...
