anything you want to add marion?

[sensor]

well.....fronts tacked and straight now i just need to get the plasma cutter fired up and cut some dropouts out.......

and heres a slight hint of whats going on(i dont know if i can do the springer i thought up for this since i laid it out really low and the front ends gonna be slammed......if it doesnt go on this one itll go on an old build i did *hint....its going to be close to a springer that most complaint about*)

maybe i can get the rear tacked if i dont fall asleep :lol:

 

[karfer67]

lol sensor it is funny how similar our builds are i think we both wanted our bikes in the weeds and they will be. i am in the same boat with the front end of my bike but i got a plan. got pics to post but that will have to wait till tomorrow.

lookin good sensor! i wanna see what you guys' rear triangles(and everything else) are going to look like though. :roll:

 

[zoso]

I like that a lot Shad

 

[ej599]

Sensor! Those are some nice looking radiy's :? radiussesses rudios :x .... Smooth curves! Looks great so far!

 

[sensor]

i wanna see what you guys' rear triangles(and everything else) are going to look like though. :roll:

follow the tape on my garage floor (you can also see some of the tubing thats for the rear in some pics as well)......as for karfers i always see a leaf spring next to his frame and theres an eyelet welded to the seat tube so im guessing his is gonna be a soft tail :wink:

 

[sensor]

finally got my chainstays perfect(yeah they line up and are bent exactly the same which isnt easy since ive bent everything by hand :wink: )

here what happens to the ones that were a few mm off from each other....
anyone need a set of handlebars? $10 +shipping

its ALMOST a roller :lol:

 

[Wildcat]

I just happen to be looking for a pair of handlebars. All 14 pairs of mine in the parts pile aren't what I need. I'll take em. Will I need a shim to make them fit a standard stem?

 

[karfer67]

good call sensor u got me. here are a few parts pics that i was talking about and the rear wheel is basicly done other than i have to grind the spokes down a bit i forgot to account that with this wheel set up the spokes will be a few mm shorter oops.

front wheel ted gave me a good tip keep one wheel together then weld the other rim on wish i had thought of that with the rear wheel oh well

finally the tires i will be running yep 3g 24X3 although on the side wall they say 3.45 :?

more to come soon i promise

 

[sensor]

heres where i left it last night.....

and that is what my rear triangle will look like stretch(minus the dropouts)
itll be a roller by this weekend :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
guess its time to get back to the
