Got rid of the old electrical tape and put on some clamps

Should have used this crate with the writing on it

love the spray frame setup never thought of a setup like that, I use the frame from a hanging egg chair which is handy and a good height

I think at one stage or another we've all been there with the numb dumb fingers and with my bad back leaning over a bike for some time I can't even straighten up for 10 minutes or so and don't get me started with eyesight, I used to be able to read the writing on a button battery now anything...

thanx guys I must admit it was an after thought to patina the frame and was hurried, an amateur mistake and out of all my 30 or so montana graffiti cans this was the only colour close to making the ratted look so may have to go find a colour closer to rustication, the frame just needed some rust...

Haha I was the same many years ago, I think the bent forks add to the flow of ladies/step through frames, they definitely need to be stretched and the seat tube cut lower somehow to look better imo, this one will eventually be stretched and something done with the seat tube and I may weld a bb...

Sprayed the crate and done some brown spraypainting and smearing it to give some mild patina

mechanicals done now to paint and finishing

Hope floss lady came over to help brighten your day, we got one of these guys in my city he is all blacked out in proper leathers like he's in the isle of man TT or something and he belts along, at least he protected but I think if he hit someone his protective gear would more than likely hurt...

It's the one thing on this build I love

I've got heaps of these from when damaged furniture comes back and it just gets thrown out so I salvage them but never used them yet plus I have heaps of packs of those cam lock pieces too

We have trails and a couple dedicated mtb parks but for me it's a time factor, I just don't have it so mostly pavement riding is all I do

Back side of the speedo mount and gave the rocker bolts a little age treatment

Thanks it was doing my head in a bit on what to use and then saw the light mount and then I thought maybe it will just slide down the fork strut

Speedo attached, rocker bolts cut down and filed, found a random piece of metal to use as an anchor for the brake arm

Found a light bracket that I straightened for the speedo mount, just got to round it off where I cut the headset ring off and here's a picture of the brackets mounted on the crate, would of had more pic's but the phone is doing that take a picture sound but doesn't save thing found some left...

Found some brackets to use and this speedo......its from an old exercycle

Cutting and making the side planks for the crate and sample piece of perspex

Yer I noticed that when I sat it on there at the beginning, I have found a strut from a metal front basket that will work as the support hopefully, if not I have plenty of stuff laying around to use

Thinks, it's kind of close to how I envisioned it
