Still waiting to see polished rims. Too bad you're not close. I'd put them together for you. Thanks for the likes btw.

I'm looking and wondering what the end result will be. Holes for lighting look good. What is your plan for the end cap of the bat behind the head tube?

Sure do like your bar solution No crossbar. They could lowered without the cross as well. What is the width photographed? Cobra grips or ones that separate the fingers bug me for riding. I do used them on occasion for looks. Have fun working on your wip

The values are accurate in your screen shot. You entered the wrong numbers earlier. Carry on.

yeah, the gap although small doesn't look right. this Azonic aluminum stem fits 1 1/8" threadless steering tubes, and fits 1' bars. https://bmxmuseum.com/forsale/385156

There are no zero offset stems, not anything affordable anyway. 35mm is about the shortest reach. Most are for 31.8mm bars and would need a shim reducer between the clamp and bars. Unfortunately the steering tube is 1-1/8. There are short reach piston quill stems available for 1'' steerers...

Those are my ideal numbers on pavement. Perfection! Do you have another identical set? Can't go wrong with red & shine Wait, something is wrong with your figuring using 5th as a reference. Take a look. Gears 1-5 are close enough, but 6-8 are way off. You made the set wider. You can only reach...

The Heavy Metal animation character reference and BBQ got me.

Examples of various nipple washers. Nipple washers increase the strength of the rim and reduce friction and consequently, the wear between the nipple and rim. A notice in 2 cross laced wheels today is generally due to lower rim/hub spoke hole counts. Here's a cross pattern relationship. The...

Continue working on your BO bike. . . I'll test the R3🚴‍♂️ You don't use nipple washers for steel hoops at any time. A reason why so many of us find old wheels with many loose spokes is due to the metal stretching at the rim spoke holes. I'm a builder and often see amateurs recommend highest...

You have it under control. Good method. My old man would be like are you using good tape for that.

Saw your post and was like cool, must be a re-post. Then I notice the thread was up just before mine. What a coincidence. Several of us the night before were talking about the upcoming Expo and what we wanted to see. The Chimera was a hot topic. It's a pretty obscure project. Not cheap either...

wow, that's gorgeous! I love Mutant stems. What's the object between the twin tubes? Looks like alien technology.

Dude, we posted minutes apart about this bike! I mentioned it in my thread after having a conversion with a fellow rider/ebiker who was also aware of it. A prototype was tested in NYC. I hope it will make an appearance at the Electrify Expo in NY in late august. A group of us are going. As a...

nah dawg, Ulu is #1 Starting with a pan will save time.

Madman #3 Sounds like it's coming together alright. I had a build setup something like yours. It loved to roll.

Tidy work. The stain black finish makes the end result appear consistent throughout as well. Nice.

I have limited space for awesome machining tools. Securing the work and tool is paramount. I choose a less than size drill bit so the job can be finished with an adjustable hand reamer for a snug fit. Quill diameters can vary slightly in the thousandths. Thank you and others for your advice and...
