Loving the sleek ultra-modern look! Despite having a bike in the competition I'd say you have a real shot at being right there at the top of this build off. Nice work!

Do you have a background in sheet metal fab?

Hey TVC15,

Your bike is looking really cool!!
I like all the raw sheet metal work (for now).
The rear light setup is really interesting and unique.
The bottom bracket,chainring, and crank arms look phenomenal.
And it's a Liner!

Thanks for the comments! The metal work on this bike is in aluminum has a brushed finished and is sealed with a clear coat

Do you have a background in sheet metal fab?

Thanks for the positive remarks!
I have a degree in a product design and that is one of my trades so I have experience with a lot of different materials and methods. Mostly just learned by mistake after mistake, so I guess I have a background in making mistakes

Spent the whole day fitting and adjusting parts... Just details...

[oxyjansen]

I know exactly what you mean. I worked in the trades for years, but am new to bikes, and fitting modern parts to old bikes, or simply not knowing the true geometry and fit of certain parts on certain bikes isn't making my project any easier. I've managed to get polishing down pretty well, but painting is still a big curve to get things right.

......the devil is the detail

looking good!

Lookin killer so far! I guess we both have something in common, I have a knack for making many mistakes & learning from each one. That's how I learned most of what I know (which ain't much)! I'm liking this build!

Looks like you've locked up the "Best use of a Murray Frame" award, congrates! The ST theme is spot on.

I´ll have to put on these to look at your bike:

Parts finally back from the plater so I did the final assembly of the front end. The revised homemade lens is looking pretty good to me, will turn the lights on tonight and post later. Decided not to use the front fender, it made it look less sleek. Still working on the jet mount, fuel and air tanks. Also preparing graphics... man I have a lot left to do!
