I just signed up on here the other day. Thought I would show what I am working on as of right now. This is my first bike build and I wasn't really planning on ever building one, but a friend got me into it. This bike started out as a Ross that was bought by the same friend at a yard sale. He bought the bike because it was a cantilever frame and he wanted the upper two tubes and the fenders off it for his build. I have never seen the bike in one piece or what it looked like when he bought it. I came along after he cut it up and was needing a frame and figured I could build something out of it. My friend has named it the Leftover special because most if not all of the parts I have gotten or I am using I have gotten free or off other bike projects that nobody wanted. So, heres some pics of it as of now. I am still working on it, welding and grinding and waiting on tires and what not.
So this is when I was fabing the extension.
This is after I cut the seat post and moved it. The upper rear tubes are just stuck on for getting idea.
This is probably the hardest part so far. I do not have tubing bender or know anyone with one that can bend anything this small. So, I made it with a conduit bender and alot of elbow grease. The handle bars and crank are just stuck on just to see what it will look like.
Up close of rear end.
This is my rear fender and the chain guard. Neither are attached as I do not have my new crank or tires yet.
More fender deliciousness
Thats all for now 8)
