I have been working every day lately, looking for a day this weekend to start digging for parts and weld a few defense items together... will make some time by Monday for sure. [emoji605]
 
I got some more "parts" in for the zombie...

I've got my brakes figured out. The bridge that originally held the kickstand will work, I just need to fab a square washer with a smaller hole. I also started drilling out the old BB for the seat post to go thru. Paint soon... bone white.

I think a frame change is in store for me.
I bought a worksman frame from Chuck, then decided to go a different route with what I had planned.
That frame showed up yesterday, so I think I'll use it for this build.... when I get a day off work.
 
The handlebars I got from KF have this little tab.

So I bought the stem that was on the same bike.

It doesn't fit in the steer tube...
This is the zombie apocalypse, I will prevail.

I put on a fork from a heavy duti and the transit bike stem kinda fits.

Don't know if you can see that, But there's a gap there. I'll have to shim it, or find a different stem.



This is how she sits now.

Try a different fork nut ... they have different sizes of holes to fit their own stems but threads are the same.

Another mockup. Have a banana in the attic i want to try, else this weird polo will work. I need long bars with this frame and will cut the gray pair right down the middle and weld extensions on. More to come soon, I hope.

I might not be working this weekend, gotta ride one day, then maybe get this zombie chaser rolling again.
 
I've started on the bone color...
Salvaged a nice ratty honey brown seat and matching grips. Because zombies need to look good too.

I think Merle is hiding, and I can't find my big wrench anywhere...

Did you paint the bars? If so we're they chrome? How do you prep the bars for paint?

haha, I did paint them...but the only prep I did was wire brush because they were so rusty. I did flex and torque on them some to check for weaknesses. If I wanted to paint a set I'd buy a black set and prime them first...
