That may just happen. Gotta do Mother’s Day stuff this weekend so no fab work. Going to build a mini backrest/butt protector for kt as well

Interesting seeing how much longer and lower this bike is then last years C2. Axle to axle is 6’8”
 
Back into the stand to be torn apart so I can start cleaning up welds. Started looking at ideas for the butt protector.

This is my current favorite.

and back to a bare frame. Going to fix the seat stay wear it needed chain clearance and do a bunch of grinding to clean things up. I hate yellow so it has to get painted 😂

At this point and some clogged up sandpaper I remembered I never cleaned the dirt and grease off these frames

looks like blue, green, tan, red , black and then yellow have graced this old frame with paint at some point in its life.
 
Looking great
 
Because I love using other bikes, this Schwinn donated its rear triangle last year.

I thought it would be fun to take the chain pass thru idea and give it a head badge

I’ll get some final weld pictures when I’m out grinding later. Have some wife to do stuff now.

Added a small brace on this side and chopped the top of seat tube off the yellow frame.
 
Love the headbadged headtube chain passthru idea.
