Great ideas. I have some touch up for a ’95 Kona Hahanna that might look cool. Thank you my friend 😃

Funny thing with these builds, how one continues to imagine some jobs to be simple and straightforward, just to take a really long time. I experienced it yesterday, thought 'this is going to be a 10 min job'. 3 hours later still not done...

Last photo is golden! 🤑

Love how the warm evening light shows off the paintwork as it's patially shaded on the 'cruiser stays' and downtube in this angle

Added four alternate mounting holes on shock legs, for varying amounts of initial spring tension (preload). Closeup of new holes. Now using the 3rd position out of 4. Thes springs are quite strong. Real PITA to mount them. Video of the suspension GIF to highlight end positions Should I...

Found another fat Maxxis. Strongest springs are now in place on both sides

Haha, I get you. I write down notes to myself to understand my own calculations 🤪

Some clear coat on top to protect it?

Beautiful! How do you lock in all the patina? Clear coat?

Magnificent 🤩

Some more theory regarding the springs, which I've now measured and calculated for my application I'll be using max 160mm of rear hub travel generating max 80mm of spring travel. In cyan, in the lower right, numbers for the IRL application: total spring force counteracting the weight on the...

Final version vs prototype First side in place

Yeah, in retrospect I see that I was a bit unclear. First section was springs and material for shock legs. This is when I made the old shock legs, which are made from too thick material Second section, with the bent steel, is me making a yoke to better anchor the static part of the shocks. The...

Today I got delivery of a selection of springs 😃 The shocks were built in advance, while I was waiting for the springs. However, Suntour were unable to provide me the exact dimensions of the springs, so I built the shocks from what I had laying around. Unfortunately the inner rods are slightly...

I’ve been imagining a thick gas tank with air intakes in the side. But here is a skeletal one instead maybe I should trim the lower edge a bit, to get more of a gap there as well?

RatRod:ing has messed me up. When I see this toaster, I contemplate cutting it apart and use the louvers:tmi:

Thanks @OddJob. I value your input

Excellent! I’d go with the Thompsons

The acid patina is nice. Maybe I should rename the bike:Perhaps some fenders? Not sure about placent
