Proverbs 3:10 So your barns will be filled with plenty, And your vats will overflow with new wine.
So progress isn't going lightning speed, but I got my headset from Walker (thanks again) so at least I can actually mock up my build now. I polished up the stem and dug up the old wheels off my tandem for mock up purposes, I also had to modify the sprocket so it would fit the crank, the lock pin on the crank did not line up with this sprocket. The truss bars had to tweek to fit the shorter head tube I had to cut on the fork, I am undecided which chainguard to use, the Monark looks better but it needs more work its rough!!! let me know what you think :wink:
I also have to try to remember how this all goes back together

Re: + SUNDAY BEST + Finally got a mockup 6/3
That is one slick looking bike.
I definitely think the Monark guard is better.
I have a question for you about the front fork. I have the same one. Are there any slotted washers of something along those lines around the axle against the inside of the chrome fork? I am trying to see how to tighten the wheel down without slocking the springer function. Thanks KF.

You got one cool rig!! Stance is great and the seat was just flat awesome!
I agree with Kingfish & Pick that the Monark guard is better looking on that bike

X3 on the Monark guard. Man this thing has attuiTUDE!! That beautiful seat looks right at home too. I like how cool and laid back it is with its long springs.

Well here's one lone vote for the newer chainguard. I just think it fits the lines of the frame better. No one else would do it so right there's a reason too. Dare to be different
Looking good.

Re: + SUNDAY BEST + Finally got a mockup 6/3
Good luck getting a kickstart back on your build.
We share the same fork in our builds. I have been playing around with some different solutions to make it operate smoothly. Take a look at my thread for the latest using 3/8 nylon nuts. I will keep you posted on how well it works.

Busy, busy,busy, that's all I can say, had a problem with my tank plans getting lost in the mail, finally got it back so I can get them to
Sensor who will be fabbing my tank, I also need to get some copper tubing for my C.B.O.S. ( crank bearing oiling system) and then there is my wheels I need to stop being rushed after work so I can stop and make my spokes, I only have one more side job at home to finish (complete resto of a 70 Schwinn Breeze) so God willing I will get this done....

Hey, I didn't know we could get other people to do our work!!! I'm gonna have to try that!
I worked out the details of how to get that front springer to work properly. Check out my build thread on the bottom of page 5.
