Re: I have no Idea! But somethins brewin...
So I totally played hookie at my own shop lol and worked on this thing for a good 6 hours or so today and this is what i got so far...
had to get those bars and forks off there Ima big boy and those arent fat kid friendly...
I can ride my bike with no handlebars... yeah i went there, lol
thats better! kinda lol think im definitley gonna go towards a bobber style and get a triple tree headset...
that tire is horrid just a temporary though
I like little rear wheels, less lenghth in spokes just seems stronger to me so time to lace that 3 speed hub in that 24 inch wheel! oh joy! :/
1 down 36 to go!
one separated wheel and now for the fun part muahahahaha, *evil grin*
when a wheel is old and steel and warped, well.... ping, ping, ...muahahahaha... ping ping!!!
got our base pattern now lets lace, lace, lace!
and some more...
and some more... (thanks johnny for the photo shots!!)
still goin... and im dyslexic so this is super uber stressfull and difficult for me usually about six trys till i get my base pattern right but then i zoom, zoom, zoom! lol
All spokes in order... Check! now time for "truing stand" lol
there she is old home and new home, i like her new home better!!
See ya old rear fender!
little cutting and drilling of new holes for the "new" rear fender
Hey there sexy, whats your name?
needed to modify the shifter jus a lil lol
run some cable, add some brake pads, adjust, and you have todays riding portion of day one!
I always try to ride what i build at the end of the day so i always know how it feels cause theres nothin worse than building a sweet bike then finding out it rides like a boat anchor!!!
the more i look at those bars the more i like there ugliness i think ill keep em...
well i hope you like all the pics now time for some steak and cheese subs and some more new castle(creative juices) i got more planned for this bad boy dont you worry your pretty little heads!!
until next time!! Rat on, Rat hard!
