I got the non drive side dropout cut and lower stay fit and had to bring it outside and get farther away to check it out to see if I was happy with the look and stance before it got welded up just tacked right now. raising rear of frame just over a inch, moving the BB up about 3/8" to get...

need don't know? but I do not trust just the aluminum outer housing between BB and hub not very thick so going with my gut so my fat arz don't break it:rolleyes: I have seen pics. either way on bikes depends on manufacturer

been messing with different fender braces also and decided I wanted the front to have the same drop as frame below tank mocked up few different ones (flat/round ones) but came back to the heavy half round originals these things are 1/16 thick and don't flex so I had a beat bent up one for a...

while waiting to get my piece of 10 gauge from my sheet metal guy (he's busy) so I can cut out the non drive dropout been messing with the front fender as it needs to be 2 piece and not a pain to remove so took a 2" piece of fender and bolted up to fork slotted the center of fenders to go around...

taking longer than I thought getting this rear wrapped up got the drive side dropout cut out and lower rear stay fit today messing with 3 diff. angles bending to fit shaft drive bracket/frame and stay to keep everything square, I decided to slot the lower rear stay and slide the drop out bracket...

Oh so close barely a 1/16 but I am going with it. My original plan was to lengthen the shaft to get more room but it turned out the shaft is splined and not keyed in the gears so that was not a option, may rub once in a while?? guess I will see. smaller tires would help but not a option on this...

started to bend up some tubing for rear, everything is long and wider just getting things cut/bent to start getting a general idea where its heading need to cut out some new dropouts also, once done lower stays and shaft (along with fender braces at some point) will be running parallel to the...

well its going to come out this weekend anyways making more stuff and posting so......... this is the next I can scratch off my to do list of different pedal drives, this shaft drive is so close to not working with the big tire but determined to make it work one way or another will make some new...

No turning back now :crazy:

Thanks. I need way more than a few days but am determined to get it done. I spent a couple hours today on the rear hub and finally figured it out (and what I was doing wrong mocking it up) need to get a oil bronze bushing piece machined and it will be good to go I hope (fingers crossed) Friday...

seems like this bike just doesn't want to be built I am WAY behind........ one problem after another after waiting for the 3 speed hub brought to LBS to get laced and rear rim is bent :mad: had them lace it anyways as I need to start kickin azz on this thing this weekend getting the frame hacked...

Hmm...... shows for me but I was having a hard time getting pics. to load from imgur here's another poor mockup.. shot more direct from side

I seem to be stuck on trains lately with this thing being a beast maybe some noticed this... I had it taped up in a earlier pic. was thinking adding a faux grill area going with the second fender mockup but what to make it out of that would be somewhat fast?? Hmmmm just a quick cut/mockup...

well I messed up:headbang:and its holding up major progress. I was going to run a 7 speed Shimano hub with drum brake and realized this bike does not need all that as it will just be a slower cruiser. I have a Shimano 3 speed coaster hub on its way but its holding my progress up big time for...

sitting today looking at it, measuring, moving things around trying to make everything parallel in the rear flow with the rest of frame I realized the only way I can make one modification work I have to run the part of frame below tank parallel to ground and flow everything else off that which...

Yeah I think the bars need to be flat also and with some pull back as the seat will be farther back also than normal

still mocking different things up, forgot I had this train light buried on the shelf may make the cut every round light just took away from showing the spring in the frontend head on and didn't look right overall with something else I have planned. I never like to start hacking till I get the...

guess it needs some big 'ol cranks also with all the other heaviness going on, sitting by new bottom bracket frame mods coming up

just a couple pics of inspiration
