Re: PLEASE MOVE TO "BUILD" SECTION MODERATOR!
thanks and hes happy about getting it(he can ride it w/o any problem but hes about 1" away from not racking himself when standing on it...so i figure next summer will be perfect :lol: )
thanks for the kind words :mrgreen:
its always been one of (my opinion now :wink: )the best frame designs around since it has such a strong forward movement to it....yeah i remember the first stretches quite well(history lesson for those who werent around...that bike is how Uncle Stretch got his name :mrgreen: ) and wasnt tikiharl the first to own one?
well i guess im going to have to have this thread moved to the build section since i cant leave stuff alone ever :roll:
so decided i hated the bars on that and went to do a knock off set of torrington cross bars....ohhh no!! its 10 pm and the steel shop closed at 5 and i have no 7/8" tubing in the shop! what to do?!?!?
dig through the junk pile until i find some suitable donors!
well that worked...
hmmm...grips are going to need to go back 3/4" so i can add a cross bar...ohh crud! i dont have any 9/16" tubing for the cross bar :x
well....im not a sissy so...
a sissy bar died for the cause! a pinch here and there and itll work...
now i just gotta get myself centered and get back to work!
well i think its a passable facsimile
gotta get all the extra ventilation filled up,finish welding,and FILE this one as done*(well still need to blast the extra chrome and rust off after that but thatll wait until i get to metal working the fenders done since theyll be non chrome as well :wink: )
not too bad for a no $ set of torrington cross bar knock offs(hey theyre even made in the usa :lol: )
*yes that was a pun
