Nearing the end of maybe a mile test ride. As soon as I finished the brakes tonight I took it out for a spin.

what I started with and day one of the build process... Goodbye to last years Kaiju and the second build I ever did here in 2014? The Difference Engine. I figure if you ain't riding them they're fair game to get chopped on or parts raided from (or both!) The final frame actually looks pretty...

I'm calling this pic "pack a lunch" King Kaiju is mostly a Nishiki with some extra Schwinn tubing, 12 speed nothing too fancy, quick enough considering the length of the chain and even though it's lightweight by stretch standards it's gots some heavy bars and over 8 ft of chain. I'll see if I...

Took the thing out for a spin all brakes and all gears work as they should, but that's something on a cobbler built 12 speed. Headlight is working even in the light, check out the post in front of it. Got a new brick wall to pose in front of at a grade school nearby the new/old house. Didja all...

Ain't made it over to the old garage yet to grab brake cables and even though the rear cable should be longer.... All the gears are working fine. Blue bar wrap. King Kaiju.

Really need a longer shifter cable but 6' is all I have st this point it'll have to do. Brake cabling is at the other garage gotta grab it later. Recycled the shifters from an early version of ALiEN FiRE they're definitely out there. Today's fun, if you can't dig the ROTEL tomatoes headlight...

This is the closest it's been to "put together" gotta run some cables and some kind of grips or wrap and she's golden. King Kaiju.

Paint n' Primer in one... Both colors. So I laid on the putty then the blue while it was still wet. Then I specked some putty back on top. Tomorrow I'll marble it in the morning. Next few days I'm busy busy but gotta go when I can. Marble effect is down and dirty, put a plastic bag on your hand...

48 centimeters give or take a bit...

At least you have brakes....lol I haven't gotten that far yet...

Is this beast gonna make it to the Tamale Ride?

With about 19 inches in length, they're the perfect reach for my laid back cockpit. Surprisingly sturdy although I still may pin them together with a crossbar, if I can find a nice piece of stock. I salvaged the long additions from a pair of those ugly modern Stingray chopper bars, the flat V...

My old Daisy Tandem that I converted into Harlequin had a tensioner like that, problem with small gears in the open is they like to jump off. a roller with modest flanges works the best, especially out in the open away from the cogs, where the chain is really bouncing around some. Think about...

Thanks. I oriented the extra BB with the original down tube so that the socket for the post would be there. I have bar end shifters so the one for the front will likely mount right in the top of that tube. Gonna need about a 10 inch cable set in a U shape to run that front derailleur. Headed...

I really don't know why I try to make things so complicated. All I need is a simple roller... Tomorrow I'll grab a piece of pvc tubing and a better fender washer. The front and rear derailleurs should work fine... I believe I'm stretching these bars about a foot. I'm feeling a name change...

Coldish out in the garage this morning... But I have the chainline figured out. It'd be nice if I could find the Nishiki derailleurs, front and back. Yeah that bench is trashed...lol also the little idler mount isn't welded yet but I wanted to get back to my coffee before I went in to the...

Bare metal or marbled... Either way I think the bones are ready. Punchlist: Marbling? Drivetrain & brakes Handlebars In the words of @Skipton WE GOT THIS!!!
