Ugh, when you don't visit the forum, you miss the build off for what you just built

I honestly wish I was furloughed or had to work from home during the pandemic, but my work has been busier than ever and I haven't had much free time or energy to devote to it.

I came to the conclusion a couple weeks ago that I'm just not able to get the bike finished by the deadline. Its certainly getting done though. Is there any way to have my thread moved to the general "builds" forum?

Dropout work

Really liking the hidden chain look

Not sure of the frame builder, Charlie Kelly thinks it might be his old Craig Mitchell, but that's not confirmed. Yeah, newer suntour thumbs, but they look the part. The suntour levers let you grab a lot of brake, that helps slow it down.

Great build, I just got this klunker project I built up with some parts I had been hoarding.

Really enjoying this one, can wait to see the finished product.

Me too! Lol a bit of fine tuned cutting and gluing before I get to that though. I feel good about being here at the halfway point. Thank you! I hope not, but I'll be ramping the plastic so it won't be too abrupt against the chain.

Sizing up the fork

All layers cut!

Funny, the one I'm planning on using is 32" wide, which should look just right on my build

Chain rolls really smooth along this plastic

Sandwiched aluminum plate, screwed through the wood on the top and the bottom.

How wide? Looks to be around 7.25" at the widest point Just have two more layers to cut, should be done with that today or tomorrow
