I recentlly finished a Bike for Mom, so Dad got jealous.
This one is for him, my Dad Edward, inspired by some of the pics posted on the "Vintage Bicycle Ads" thread.
Sorry about the quality of most pictures, won´t happen again...
Inspiration/Goal:
Donor bike (will use this parts bike on another project as well)
Here is the frame I´m using, being chopped by good friend Leo as I´m taking the pic with one hand
and holding my glass on the other...
Yes, winter is still around down here, and No, blurness is not caused by beer
...bad camera setting (may be both 
) Home improvised tube bender, ugly as my aunt Greta after shaving, but handy...
Got to love those floor Jacks
set up looks like a crossbow, probably more dangerous 
Paint removed, frame cleaned
Bended tube, ready to be welded to the frame...
Gotta beautiful set of 28 white wheels, new coaster break, self centring front hub, and perfectly chromed handle bars, seat is already at the upholsterer...
This will be a build of firsts. No first class, just first time we chopp a bike, first time I bend a tube, first attempt to weld with brand new welder...
I´m confident enough to say it will turn out nice... please keep your fingers crossed, I´m gonna need it, specially when welding.
Stay tuned, new pics cooming soon
(If not is cuz I´m at the hospital, trying to remove a welded bike from my body
)
