Fabbed & attached the fork blade to the rear stays. Will apply finish to match frame.

TRM, a huge fan of your skills & creativity. Thank you for the encouraging words. Even though the build has strains of steam punk; I think of it more of garage "Dream Junk". Basically, trying to reuse what's on hand and cast offs that might otherwise end up in the dumpster. Looking forward to...

These fork legs came from my mangled camelback fork. The fork legs will have new life as detail between the rear chain & seat stay.

Avoiding the necessary to do list. Finished rear fender reflector. Next finish the handlebar & grips assembly.

Reworked the Tear Drop pedal to compliment the chain ring.

Didn't have much time for the "Mistress" (aka Amorem Redux) today. Did add vintage baby carriage cross braces to the center tube.

StevieZ59, Thanks for the kind words.

Mock up: So far this what is shaking out.

Test fit looks good on the rear "fender". Just need to trim the top even with stay; and add fender strut to give an even reveal around the tire. I have a copper 3G wheel that will fit well under the wider rear fender. Got to fab fender struts front & back.

Wheo, the 28" rims make the rear fender a full 3" wide, which is 1/2" wider than front. I know where this headed; wider tire in the rear. Oh, yeah!

Close up of fender clearance; might gain a slight more with fender struts added. Not digging the Copper Bumper treatment. Think I will round over the front edge and fill with solder to clean it up.

Falstaff, I dig your cool rear wheel creation.

Last night I moved the fender 2" forward & viola the 1/2" clearance is there. Got the 28" rim for the rear fender and great fit. Now I need more clamps & fasteners to fab the rear fender. Still working on the curbed bumper.

Scrapped the fender in the above pic. The 24" tire fit perfectly with that fender; didn't like the stance. So, couldn't find a 28" in my stockpile and used a 27". The result is a 1/8 " clearance & no tire rub. However, going to Bike Saviours, Tempe to scrounge a pair of 28", which give me up to...

1st mock up of front fender. After trying out several different lengths; settled on this one. Made a rookie mistake: This mock up fender will fit 24" wheel; used a 26" rim for fender. So simple solution is to use a 24" wheel. Will check stance. If the 24" wheel looks wrong, will remake using...

Odd job, I really like the effect you achieved. It looks great.

Remember Bootsy playing bass for James Brown before PF. What two songs did Bootsy play drums for PF? Okay, I am a PF fanatic.

That would be brutha George Clinton.
