Thank you again for the seat sir!

Finished up the flyer today. Definately a one of a kind and not a bad little rider at all! Please take a second if you want to tell Ethan merry Christmas as he will see this thread before he sees the bike ! Better photo shoot after Xmas. Have a great holiday everyone.

The seat fix. Solid kids tube into a plate and cutdown standard tube. Works well especially considering the loaf seat with rear support helping

Sure does look like it! Haha. Good ol doorknob mirrors.

So with my wife out shopping , a little kerosene for the bullet heater , a few tacos, and a lucenda Williams soundtrack I got the little Christmas Flyer into a roller. Of course I poked the back tube mounting the tire but that's no biggie. Bigger sprocket , bigger crank arms, pork...

Ethan staying with us this weekend and have the car club Christmas party so I won't be able to assemble till through the week next week. I did find time to get the new crank and sprocket setup on and the rear whitewall. Whitewalls with white rims kinda give it that gangster wide whitewall look!

Evel on hold till after Christmas! Focusing on finishing the "Christmas Flyer " wbo entry for my nephew Ethan , then it's just a matter of a little more clearcoat in a warmed up shop and some uncle / nephew final assembly time on pure Evel.

Good news ! Was worried that after removing the super wierd pin/rivet kids zero adjust sprocket and crank setup the frame hole might not be American standard width and diameter. It is! So , ran by my favorite little local bike shop and ordered an inexpensive but new crank, bottom bracket, and...

Anything you want to learn to do to a car or bicycle can be learned , except one. The eye. Having THE EYE. That instant knack for color combinations and contrasts , proportions , the vibe... You know what I'm saying. No art degree can teach it, mit can't teach it. But you sir, on this...

Before dinner took it all back apart tonight. After dinner wet sanded it more. Pretty darn smooth even in the patina areas of the paint. Both this bike and the Christmas wbo entry are coming along. This one is basically ready to clearcoat several times and final assemble. Gonna try to clear it...

Not much currently. Wife is almost done repairing the seat, my friend has the franken seat post ready I think , have to go grab it. I've got the bike disassembled and grabbed a modern junker pawn shop bmx for the crank and sprocket ( hopefully , bracket looiks to be standard diameter and width...

Stole away a few minutes to take the flyer back apart and Bob the rear fender. Just have to remove the crank etc, find a better ( bigger ) one that will work , and start it back together. Wife is on the seat, welder buddy is on the seat post , a few cool parts on the way, and hoping for a neat...

Nice work! Very cool bike

Thanks and have a great Thanksgiving. Plan may be a little ambitious with some long days at work this week ( 13 hours Monday already) and Thanksgiving Thursday but will get there for sure

Got some things going on the little western flyer today. Wife was handed off the black loaf seat to address the split in back. Amazon was dispatched for some black flake grips , and a fresh chain, a great welder buddy is fabricating the fix for the seat post issue. ( Small post - plate - large...

I would do the striped one without dying it but would have to go lime tires and grips to tie it all together. Sounds pretty cool but make take away from the original chipped up teal green he loves.

Oddjob sent me some wonderful seat options from sunny Minnesota. One of these seats will wind up giving the extra rear support needed after I figure out how to mount the seat post. Big thanks to him from my wife and I and looking forward to getting this thing wrapped up soon ish!

Oddjob out of the blue offered to send me a seat or two that may work great on this build. Big thanks to him and his thoughtful offer. The vibe of this group is nice and very laid back and helpful. I'm used to that from the old car community where I live but new to the custom rat bike world. It...

With the Evel bike all figured out and ready for final clean , clear, grease, polish , and assembly I can focus on the little western flyer with the top secret Christmas deadline. Figured out the triple trees, bars , etc. Addressing the seat issue , finding the right crank and sprocket in...
