Re: Devist8er
Hey Guys thanks for all the great complements.
Crazy busy couple weeks, between work and trying to get some time in on this bike. I am REALLY want to get this together and ride it now.
The frame is done and I've started the assembly.
Now I've got to start on the forks. Pick up a 6' length of 1-1/2 aluminum tube to use for the new fork legs.
And since I'm a Triumph nut and use a fender from one I had to add a couple Triumph logos.
Trying to accent the bike with red anodized components.
Here's the rear wheel all set up with an 8 speed / roller break and half link covered chain :!: 8)

Re: Devist8er
That's it for to night. Cut out a hole in the lower tube to run the cables internal. Set up the head stock, spring and leading links fort the forks. installed the bars, levers and ran the cables, installed with Dirty Dog cable guides to match the stem. I've got tomorrow to do some work on the house and fit some time in on the forks.

have the vision. Its really turning out nice. :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
For some reason it reminds me more of a suit of armor. Maybe just me. :?

Re: Devist8er
Man, I haven't been spending enough time here on the AG side!
Wow. :shock:
The only thing (if I can be so bold) that I'm wondering about, is the chrome seat post. With all of the raw metal and anodized bits, it seems a little away from the theme. But then again, it's a little hard to see in the pix. I might not be seeing the big picture yet.
I have to agree with the others, you've got a winner!

Re: Devist8er
I can't take the credit for the method of setting the rivets. I asked Tater how he did his rivet bike..... He holds the secret :wink:
Renaissance Man,
You're right about the seat post and it was something I was working on over the weekend. No rivets and no chrome and it blends right in now. Shall I post a photo?

Re: Devist8er ~ seat post Mod ~ 11 more Rivets
Ok, As Renaissance Man said the seat post wasn't in the theme of things and I had worked on trying to blend it in over the weekend.
Instead in rivets I had made divots down the sides of the bent back seat post and had polished/brushed it to look similar to the bike. YA! Tried to finish the divots and put a few holes right through. So I scrapped that and started over with this old stem and seat post.
A bit of cutting and I married the two pieces, added the rivets and a stem spacer.
Added the red paint to the holes.
Here are some pricey red flats I'll be using.
