I'm gonna save the art deco design of Fenix for another time…I like its direction but I'm thinking its not the right one to pursue for this build off? I'll put it on the back burner for a later date.

After cutting, fabricating and doing a mock up today with the many bike parts...I've decided to go in a entirely different direction.

You know its not a par-tay until brother Jake shows up!:cool2:

I missed this build…very sweet!

So with the Micargi rear end removed, I decided to make a few modifications utilizing two abandoned bikes i had lying around for their parts. I chopped the Wally Beast for its wide rear end and the Schwinn OCC for its 100mm bottom bracket.

UPS just dropped off my "monster" tires. Hopefully my rims will arrive early next week?

Played around with where I might hide the battery under the seat.

"Phoenix" is a Greek mythological bird. The noun phoenīx derives from Classical Latin. The spelling fēnix is Old English and was borrowed from Medieval Latin phenix. :39:

Nawh, this is a big bike! We now return you back to your regular programing...:grin:

Titanium trikes...Wow! Recently trikes just popped up on my radar. I'm seriously thinking about building a Velomobile?

I finally cut the welds and have the rear end apart.

NICE FRAME

There's an old adage: the key to failure is trying to please everybody. I suggest you listen to your gut feelings. You'll know what works and when it's right when you see it!;)

I'm still not sure about going the electric route…the problem for me is where to place the battery so its not so inconspicuous? I guess I could tuck it under the seat? I just returned from Home Depot and I have a huge delivery for this Friday! Which means I have a few stress-free days that I...

Well I’ve come to a halt…I need to stop and get back to the commitments I made to my wife. My daughter is moving back home this weekend (after flying the nest 18 years ago). So I’ll need to focus on the projects around the house for her return. There’s not much more I can do on the bike until...

I love that Metropolis poster…I have an 8 ft version that hangs in my office. The bikes guys are seriously some cool dudes!!! The shop is an unorthodox co-op…nothing pretentious! Everything they've given me has been donated by members. It's a sweet place to hang out, almost any given day, bike...

Looking good! I too was a sign painter, I got my start as an apprentice to an old master. I haven't picked up a brush and mahl stick in over 40 years.
