spent some time installing cables for the brake and gears, and put them in the frame as it looked better. Had to change the frame for the derailer gears so the chain missed the frame. got a bit fancy with this here you can see I stretched the bars with another set of the same bars, which...

I'm thinking of building a bike for my Grandson, a stretch cruiser, chopper, old motorbike look, or something unnaff. He was 2 the other day so I've prolly got 6-8 months till he's riding better than me. He's very good with the balanced bike now. I've included pics of adult bikes, but don't have...

so...Monark forks, made for disc brakes, forks 90mm disc brake wheels 100mm, forks don't bend, so spent $$ and got made stuff to fix that and rake problems, but couldn't live with the results. will go back a step or two. I needed to modify this frame a lot to fit disc brake wheels, so I will...

spend $5, blah blah, have swing bikes.

getting closer to finished, waiting for new cables and stuff. Have sat on and tried it out. Probably will need to change things, as the wheel hits the pedals, maybe heat the forks and bend them a bit, and the color's a bit naff

got this far, don't know if I'm happy with it, I like the forks to be more laid out

how many hoe's can you fit in your lambo? Santa 's got three

Finally filled this gap, now a bit of grinding, painting, then fitting stuff to make it go

welding at last I have. Yes, there's a bit of a gap at the bottom, but more next time. It's Father's day here in New Zealand and my children are here and so this must stop.

the shed is finally warm, so did some stuff, and yes I forgot how went cause it's been so long then I check this post

bit of progress, a new seat from Brooks ( God save the Queen), and replica Monark forks ( God bless America). We will need to modify things a bit, yes the frame is too close to the ground. I have been using the seat on my other bike for a couple of days and it's not comfortable. Both the forks...

The first weld and I ran out of gas, got more gas today

started another build made from leftovers from other projects

kinda but without moving the springs etc forward, just make longer pivot arms and maybe stronger springs

I want to move the wheel further forward for better trail on my application. Can't find anything about this
