Pepper. Adopted her almost 4 years ago from the local shelter. Constant amusement

One of my all time favorite bikes here, Critter1’s lackluster from build off 7

Dude the frame IS the cool part 😁

Thank you, I just read through it, seems like a great solution

I’ve been working late and slacking on page 2! Tonight I started digging through the box of parts that came with the bike to see what I can use this rack looks bent to me, the blue is a bit off and the front mount has been hacked, it’s going into the future use pile this truss rod mount was on...

Really like this combination of parts!! what was the original purpose of the bracket on the fork?

I remember you posting that when it happened

Found this, not sure how accurate it is

Much better to have that steer tube break in the garage than on a ride…

Black button head Allen bolt, I’ve used them in place of fender rivets and they visually almost disappear

I had a bad experience with Amazon spokes, I’ve had very good results with spokes from pork chop bmx

dude that is amazing! you are an artist

I solved the bent fork issue by remembering I had this Westfield fork in the pile, it’s off a pre-war bike so it’s era correct. The blue is a bit off but it’s close enough for me

Before and afterovernight in the wood bleach bucket, scrubbed with 0000 steel wool, then rubbed with penetrol and I have a frame ready to start fitting parts! I suppose I could have done all this before the build off and technically been within the rules, but where’s the fun in that?
