CAFE RACER (little peek)

[big AL]

One of the hardest builds for me anyway. The challenges are,
1 to find a frame that lends itself geometry wise.
2 finding the right parts that fit the look your after.
3 you get the look your after but can you still pedal it?

For me anyway I have to have it all your nothing. Not done yet but well on its way so here is a little peek.

Those challenges hold true for many builds!!

I love the tank and look forward to seeing more.

On this cafe build, it had to be all about the tank. Funny thing, I was bidding on ebay for a week and a half for a tank that I thought was perfect. Problem is, somebody else thought it was perfect for their project too and I lost the bid. I was moping around and my wife found another prospective tank on ebay and brought it to my attention. As luck would have it, I think it turned out to be better than my pick - and I didn't even have to bid on it, it was a buy now item. It was a total wreck of a rust bucket but I knew it was the right choice. (Thank you, baby!) With a whole lotta elbow grease it was good as new.

Thats what happened on the first tank I was bidding on and the price went to high.
The tank I got came off a 68 Gilera mybe 69 anyway it came up and it was a buy now so I didn't have to play games with a bidding dummy.
