New project in the works. Found a stretch cruiser on CL for a price that I couldn't even get tube for so I picked it up. After disassembly I realized that she was in dire need of a full rebuild. As we all know, It isn't custom until you cut it so I pulled the neck off to ad much more rake.

not sure I will need this much rake but a boy can hope. I could have cut the whole tube out and ran it through the roller to bring the tubes closer together (need to get the headset to fit) but I pie cut the tube instead and did some creative bending.

Started building up the fork for the next project I have planned. Started by tearing down a Girvin Fork and running it through the polisher many times.
