Whoa... that looks sharp!

Here is what it looks like now. I used another set of wheels but mine will be black, the wheels have to be built yet. I put these bars on it but they may not be used. The flat tank area will be painted with Jack. I have yet to do the artwork. The frame has to be clearcoated. The crank will be polished before it is installed.

Here is the seat and parts. I hope it works out ok when done.

Looks great! Where did you get the tires?

If you don't end up using these handleb ars I would be interested in purchasing them or trading something for them. Just shoot me a PM or an email! BTW this reminds me of the bike in the Smithsonian that is the Wright brothers bike. WTG@!

Thanks, Joe

looks fantastic !!! but how do you get the fork to work with the head tube ( just curious cus ive ran into that prob before and never solved it)

The tires came from Nashbar. As for the fork and head tube I have not put the whole thing together. I will try now and see. The head tube is not the same as most older balloon tire bikes. The headset is like an old British bike style. I can also shim it up if needed. I will send a closer pic of the headset and tube when the frame is finished. I put the seat together last night. The cover is had to get tight. There is still a few wrinkles in the top. This is the first time doing a seat. I will post pics later. Most of the work on this bike is the first time doing this. I have a great teacher and he shows me how to do it before I attempt it. Most of the work is simple though.

I have been working on the bike and now have some pics of the wheels and Jackz panel. The wheels are the ones in a previous post that were silver and now are black. It was easier than building the original rims into wheels. The original rims were a little too rough. Here is the wheels.

This is the panel that was all black, now you can see the Jackz theme. I love the movie and am collecting some of the movie theme items.

The bike should be done in a day or two.
