I needed to make a light, so I came up with some plexiglass.

I tried blue and green, but I prefered green.

Re: Raceliner? (name pending) Update !!!!

This step nearly killed me, all the angles were SO terribly hard to get right. Next year I will have a simple bike!!!!!!

Mock up after I installed the wheels and chain.

Seat is not at the right angle!!

More mock up.... I got sick of getting the right angles!!!!!

I made this bike to be functional! So the seat had to be adjustable. Here was final seat-rack-thing frame before I welded it.

I am digging EVERYTHING that you are doing with this build.
This one is creeping up the food chain in my opinion.
Beautiful ride, just be sure to finish it.!!!!!!
