I like it.
While I see how many might want to call it a burrito, I think it's way too big for that. Which is a good thing.

Gee Jon this one was pretty wild for me . I'm not sure where to step from here. It will take me a while to do the bondo and paint this one. I was thinking about copying a basman , but that wouldnt be much....Maybe I can come up with something different when I get through with this one. :shock: :roll:

Do you think It's "Danimal Sized"? I think it might be.
Glad Yall all like it. RatRodDad came over last night and rode the new creation. He too thought the seat was back too far. I can come up with something to move it forward ...and a kickstand....that drives me crazy to have a bike without a kickstand. I would never make it as a road bike rider. I would have to have a carbon fiber kickstand or plastic or something. I hope to have the silly stuff finished today and then start the smoothing process with some bondo on the welds. I think it looks alot better like this than the 1890's one. Oh well more pics as it develops.
Ok figured out a kickstand...kinda...and also made a differant seatpost where I can slide the seat forward to make it a little better to ride.
Verry cool man, looks like a nice rider, Maybe have it shoot some fire out the back HEHEHE that would be real cool :mrgreen:
Yeah MDR I dont know if I could pull off the fire, But I did smear the first bondo on . It usually takes me three times to get it like it should be.
Ok I got the first of several coats of primer on. I saw a couple uhohs in my bondo that need to be sanded a little more,but all in all its turning out pretty good. Oh and no it's not going to be white. :roll:
Thanks Kota It pretty Swoopie anyway. I kinda like to build something that might stretch my limits....This one did that. If you turn it upside down you can see I missed the bottom chain stay being perfectly straight. Didn't notice it before. with my jig your mainly working from one side and its really hard to see perfect . I pulled strings and straight edged and still got a little off. If a person built one on a flat table It would be alot easier to keep everything really perfect. Glad its a bike and not a space shuttle. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Well see Stretch I have a limited ability ...so yes this was a stretch for me. I'm still learning with each build. Maybe the next one will be a little more difficult. :shock:
Ok I painted it orange first and started having Halloween flashbacks. So I painted it black. UGH the same ol same ol . I dont think I like the chrome forks and I'm pretty sure I dont like the whitewalls. Its still up in the air about the black rims.
