Re: PAY IT BACK

That kid is one lucky little guy. Way to go. Keep going. Can you imagine the look on his face when you tell him it's his...You got to take a picture when you give it to him. Then put it on here. Good job.

Re: PAY IT BACK

neither can i next up will be lacing the wheels, and getting the fork closer to compleated. once that is done then it will be taking it all back apart for final polishing and clearing. and thanks to all for the nice comments they really keep me going when i am down.
 
Re: PAY IT BACK

karfer67 Do you have any spare parts for that hub. I have the same hub but it has the threaded rod broken inside the hub. I need the threaded rod and the little sliding piece that it threads into. I like the tires you chose. The whols thing looks great.
 
Re: PAY IT BACK

sorry no spare parts for the hub. and yes matching holes will be cut into the tank insert which i am going to make out of sheet copper.
 
Re: PAY IT BACK updated 6/22

nope it will be fine i was a bit bummed when the original rip strips broke while i was trying to remove them but i think if i just double them up i will be ok. and that is how this rim was designed they are early 80's araya mongoose rims
 
Re: PAY IT BACK updated 6/22

finally got the front wheel laced up and yes i took pics but i could not get a hold of the comp last night to load the pics so you will have to wait. i am going to try and lace up the rear today after work if time allows. all i can say is polished, blk and gold :D
