Yeah, sometimes I feel like a "Shadchan" (match maker) of bicycle parts.:grin:

Well, I got the paint off and removed the seat post. Playing around with a cardboard seat template.

That is beautiful, I am already jealous!! Love it!![emoji106][emoji106]
 
I did well today; I’m satisfied with the seat mock up. I now need to expand the rear wheel stays. I usually run a 24" x 57mm wheel set with Felt Thick Bricks tires. I'm going to push the envelope this time and run a wider 100mm rear wheel and tire.

Love the seat design, what will you make the finished version from?

I’m thinking fiberglass? Yesterday’s work on the seat was a bit premature, since I now want to widen the rear stays to accommodate a 100mm tire. I’ll ordered the rims today and hopefully they’ll arrive sometime next week?
 
Today, the guys at the bike shop bestowed another addition towards my build. Sadly its a narrow rim…if I do use the motor, I'll have to lace it to the fat rims I ordered this morning.


Worked on building a frame jig today


Sure it's ghetto jerry-rigged, but hey, it works!;)
 
Man... you've got some seriously generous bike shop guys o_O

I've never seen them before, but I love those Metropolis crank/transmissions... and you've been given three :13:

I love that Metropolis poster…I have an 8 ft version that hangs in my office.

The bikes guys are seriously some cool dudes!!! The shop is an unorthodox co-op…nothing pretentious! Everything they've given me has been donated by members. It's a sweet place to hang out, almost any given day, bike legends l.e., Otis Guy, Tom Kelly, Joe Breeze or Gary Fisher are hanging around.
