Thanks. Wish progress was progressing quicker, but you all know how that works.

Re: Mae's Columbia (Front Basket?)

Postby ChrisMac on Sun Mar 25, 2012 4:38 pm

WOW has it been awhile. No progress at all since last post, but I tossed together the front end, so that I can start mocking up the front basket. That's the only thing I can do to move forward that won't cost Mae ( my friend who will be receiving the bike upon completion ) any money since I already have the lathes to sand and cut. Needed some type of project before the Build Off starts. Sorry no pics right now, my computer won't let me load pics from my camera right now.

Thanks. Had a good time doing it. Pretty anxious to start the front basket. Should be A LOT easier.

Got some of the wood cut to rough length for the slats of the front basket. Gotta pick up some more wood to make the frame/skeleton tomorrow.

Did first drawing of the chainguard logo so I can eventually replicate it once the bike is repainted.

May be awhile. This is a back burner build for sure. Once I have the basement back in check, I might start up on the front basket soon.
