this was fun building and a blast to ride!

it started from this. rolling to the oldies. can't do much cutting and notching til I get the forks and head tube. I can go ahead and start on the sheet metal fabrication. Rough templates. Thinking about adding a little running board along the bottom tube. I can try it in cardboard and...

would like measurements of the top tube, down tube, chain stay, seat stay, seat posts. This way it would give me an idea or template to work off of. I'm kind of hesitant to jump on a frame build without getting an idea of an "average" size bike to use for reference. I'd like to make it very much...
