I am not worried about the forks bending , they are made from 16ga tube , I am not sure if I like the way the forks meet the steering stem on an angle like that , I was planning on straight forks not the curve ones , I will have to change the head tube angle for it to look right to me , still...

I started these forks today , not sure if i like them or not yet but i guess its to early to tell , they are different , going to try to finish them up tonight and take a look in the morning to see then if i like them

Well i know i am falling behind again on this build but hopefully i can make up some time in the shop this week and this weekend , I got the crank mounted and all the bars tacked into the frame , and now I can go onto the forks that Glen made up on his computer , not sure if they will work...

Glen I really like that idea , I think I will try something like the 2nd photo , some day I will be good enough with a computer to be able to things like that

That is awesome !!!!! cant wait to see this one done , I am watching

Well i am getting a little more done tonight , the rear chain stays are tacked in and now i can start thinking about something cool for the forks , cant be to wild because i want to ride this one all summer so they have to be very usable , so i guess i have to think about this for tonight

I had a thought of trying some other tires today and it didnt work out so well , this was a 2.125 tire on a 4" rim , it was like a shot gun going off in the shop when it went , going to stay with the tires i started with

The frame is 41" tall , there will only be 2 1/2" of ground clearance , you have to remember this is going to be my daily rider for the summer at the campgrounds and I am 6ft tall so I wanted it to fit me , should be a fun ride

Well i got out to the shop today to get some more done on the bike , front half of the frame is now tacked together and time for the rear chain stays , going to try to have it in roller form in the next couple of days , stay tune more to come

I am on it , its cool to see where everyone is from !!!!!

here is one off mine , just wish i had a paint room , flat black and yellow

Heres a couple i did

If I get my new bending system the ones I have will be going up for sale , I will let you know when they do

THANK YOU for those post , now it makes more since to me and I am going to try cutting one now , I was afraid to cut one because if I mess it up I cant weld a piece back in , I will let you know how it goes

Love that back wheel , I am a big fan of BIG TIRES on the back , I will be watching
