☣☢ VerBoten ☠ϟ - Elgin Twin Evanaction Build - Big Butt Strikes Again!!

[gowjobs]

I like where this is going. I see what you mean about the room between the 24" tire and the fork crown. Looks like enough space to slip a stealthy headlight in there.

I was already thinking that. The headlight I wanted to try is a pair, so I may have an over/under light.

I still have these lights that I originally bought for Flexy but never used.

 

[GuitarlCarl]

Yeah I wouldn't have used them either...looks like Johnny 5 is alive...lol

Yeah too much like robotic eyeballs side by side. I think that one on top of the Evanaction shroud may play well with the bat wing springer piece. We'll see.

Yep, KF I think you can cut that tube at the lower third, put a piece of pipe in that fits the inside tight, drill a couple holes that go thru both pieces and plug weld it. Maybe a smooth shoulder bolt will help with the tire clearance too. Ah, just thinkin' out loud. Your bike is gonna be trick/slick...

Thanks buddy! There are a few similar threads here, but yours is one of the best ones I have seen.
I'm still curious about trying it with a threaded to threadless adapter first.
I'll get it handled one way or another.

Here is my Evanaction forks I've had laying around my garage for a while, waiting for the right frame to put these on.

This one is for a woman's bike so it'll have to be shortened, I've had this one a few years now. I saw one just go on ebay a few days back, it went for nearly something like $325.00, not including shipping. That's Crazy! They are hard to come by for sure.

 

[kingfish254]

So you have one that is too long. Maybe we should trade?

Just scored something extra sweet for the Elgin thanks to a heads up from a friend.
This is most of a slightly beat up headtube shroud. This is gonna be a fun addition.

 

[jasper87]

Wow that is a sweet score! Your bike coming together really nice. Those forks, that frame, the lights, and now this! Dude... just, Dude

Thanks man. This shroud wasn't even in my mind, but it just popped up. Oh yeah, I forgot about the light photo. I pulled out one of the headlights I talked about and held it in place to see if it might work.

Light looks good there King!

What are those light's off of? I've never seen those before, those are neat.

They are off of an Advanced Auto Parts store shelf. I first saw them when @ChrisMac used one on his build in BO6.

More pics to come, but I just had an idea. I wonder if I can use a threaded to threadless adapter to extend the steer tube?

Those extension adapters will still require that the steer tube is secured by a top nut on the head tube I believe. Now you've given me something to think about for the morning....maybe I can help YOU out for once!
