Re: CYCOBILLY DELUXE - Holy Rollers, Batman........

These will probably be the tires I will use. They fit in the fork and frame easily :D

Re: CYCOBILLY DELUXE - High Tech Rig!!

I didn't get to do any welding today, as I had a guy come to look at a car I have for sale, and also had to take a truckload of tree branches and garden cuttings to the dump. Now it's BBQ time :D .

Here's a pic of my high tech (or is it redneck?) rig for checking the chain line and for tire clearance :D All looks good. I love it when a plan comes together!

Re: CYCOBILLY DELUXE - Machining and Stamping......

I ground the excess tube off the bottom bracket tube and welded up the holes, then cleaned it up on a lathe.

Re: CYCOBILLY DELUXE - Machining and Stamping......

Sick :eek: 1st time i hear about a custom bike being stamped ,witch is a good thing , that way the future owner would know were it came from or why it was built
 
Re: CYCOBILLY DELUXE - Machining and Stamping......

Dang! You beat me to it! I bought a letter and number stamp set just before the build off! You stole my serial number!!! :shock:
Nevermind, I will come up with something else... :wink:

Beautiful lines on the frame. Lots of customs seem to lose some elegance but this one is so much nicer than what you started with.

Great eye.

Thanks bruce. I appreciate the comments.

Not much done the last couple of days. I sold a car, so had a bit of stuff to do around that. I did get the rims to the powdercoaters though. We have a four day weekend coming up, so hope to get the frame welded and finished.
 
Re: CYCOBILLY DELUXE - Tacked and Mocked......

Maaaaaan..............what a job I had to try and get the BB shell square and straight............pretty hard when nothing else on the frame is lined up :eek: Gotta love these top quality Chinese frames!!

I only tacked it up so I can fit the BB and check to see if I've got a good and true chainline. If not it will be easier to heat and get straight.

I know the BB shell looks a bit high in the pic, but it will be sitting a lot lower with different wheels and tires.

Re: CYCOBILLY DELUXE - Uncle Stretch time???

The more I look at this frame, the more I dislike it :shock: . I was thinking about changing the rear dropouts and a couple of other things, and then started thinking I should have just built a frame from the get go.

I'll probably do an Uncle Stretch and cut this one up.
 
Re: CYCOBILLY DELUXE - Time to do an Uncle Stretch.......

:lol: Bean its so easy to start from scratch instead of fight something that won't
work. I find it fun to cut them up too.

Yep............it's done :shock: Looked at it on and off for a couple of hours this morning, and broke out the saw.

I may or may not use the rear triangle, but have done a CAD representation of what I'm shooting for. In case anyone is wondering, CAD is my acronym for Chalk Aided Drawing :D

Re: CYCOBILLY DELUXE - Got Steel......

I picked up some tube today. 32mm for the main frame and 22mm for the stays.....I wanted 19mm for the stays, but they were out of it, and I didn't want to wait another week until it arrives. Starting to bend tomorrow :D
