Those are neat bars!

From outside lock nut to outside lock nut this hub was 100mm wide. So I removed a spacer under the actuating side’s lock nut, and for the none actuating side I replaced the 10mm spacer with a smaller space that I shaved down a bit making it 6mm. Now it fits in the fork. I’m not sure how I...

All done! And only 45 days late for the RBBO deadline!

This is a good look… You saw the wing I bought a few pages back. So I came up with a plan. I fabricated some upright mounts using parts of the original mounts from the kit, glueing them to 4” lexan sticks of the same thickness I cut at work. Shot them with black when the bike got painted...

Once you have the fork legs with the same bend… The farther up you pull those legs up through the base plate, the more horizontal you’ll get the bottom of the legs to the ground. I suggest installing the rear wheel with tire, and bolt on the front wheel with tire to achieve the look you want...

Let’s try something new (for me)…

Here we go…

speaking of superfluous holes… There are two in the bottom bracket shell and there are two extra under the down tube. I’m told they were there because of other models. So… I also made room for the tire. You can see the marks and the dimple tool. FLAME ON!!! And a nice rosebud And...

Decided to hit the easy button with the forks. Rather than engineering a good looking plate cover with harness sockets, I decided to just extend the fork legs. It gives it a traditional look, which is always good in my book. Used a 1/2” rod as a ‘jig’ of sorts. And got them both on...

It might be time to step up to the big leagues.

Picked up everything from the painter today. It’s hard to tell in the pic I think, but both the black and the grey have some nice metal flake that pops in the sun. And here’s a cool. Detail I couldn’t see before… in the sun you can see a shadow of the car that he painted. It’s just slightly...

Change in front wheel plan. I picked this up last night locally. So I’m going to get a 16” rim to lace it to.

If you want to thank me, crop out my flip-flop feet. :P Seeing your pictures makes me realize how much of a mess I work in. After the MBBO I’m not going to take any more clients and clean up!

Had to cut it down a bit. It was too big. I’ll get more small clips of the detail in the Sun when the bike is built next week.

Tried to upload a video, but no go. So… screenshot.

For a second I thought you started another project! You old dog you!

Direct saves him the ridiculous Ebay fees.

Those grips are really nice! @ifitsfreeitsforme no more sparkle grips in the future?
