[pick]

Xcruiser: Thanks buddy! How's she doing? Great I hope!

Thanks Peatbog, for the comps!

This is looking awesome. Great frame choice, and 20 x 3 tires always look good.

Looks AWESOME Pick...I like it with the tank

[SCHWINNRAY69]

Tank looks great! Actually, the whole BIKE looks great!

[pick]

Thanks guys! So far the tank is in the lead. I think I like it better than without. Haven't had time to work on it today, so no progress since yesterday. May have to sneak out like I'm watering the garden or taking out the trash, so I can work on it a little! Still undecided on the seat & bars & thinking about a bobbed rear fender if I can find one wide enough. Still tryin to catch up to you guys!

I like it with the tank too!
The stance with the hub above the drop out and the porkchopper fork is really cool!!
Don't worry about pace, I'm way behind you We'll both make it...

Thanks Steve! I will catch up. Tonite I "took out the trash" & was able to sneak back to my scrap pile. Found a set of bars that are just weird enough that I think I like them. Don't laugh......Yet! My plan is to use them flipped using the porkchopper headset. For now I just have a picture in my head & will get it put together tomorrow (I Hope) & see what it really looks like. Also have a rear wire rack that I got from Diabolical_Dork @ the swap (FREE) that I may try to fab some truss rods for the front forks. (Some members here kind of gave me that idea, thanks guys!) Anyway here are the bars...Cross bar is only 6.5 inches wide, total width of bars is 22", but I may shave about an 1 to 1.5" off each end.

Those look like the little bars that came on my Adams Tag-Along.

Bet you didn't even know they were missing! They actually came off a pretty weird little BMX bike I picked up for parts.

I have the original F1 Eliminator spacey lookin guard, but not sure I will use it yet. Not sure it will fit the rest of the bike. Kind of looks like an old Studebaker fender to me! I'll just have to stick it on there & see what it looks like with the rest of the stuff. Thanks for lookin bro!
