    Waiting on the soda blaster. Not much happening on the build right now. I did find some different wheels and tires I think I am going with. I will be out of town for the next two weeks. Have fun.

    Yes it may be sticky, but it will save a month of sanding

    I have no idea what the seat came off of. I got at a garage sale Years ago. Someone here may know.

    Thanks for your in put Bart, I looked a using the arrow, but I did not want an appendage Coming off of it. The more I work on this bike the more I want to keep the lines clean, without clutter. I have ordered a tensioner from of Amazon that attaches to the axle. As for a 3d chain wheel that is...

    Wow guys I have even thought about grips yet, you are way ahead of me. Today I ground off the brake brackets on the fork. And messed around with a tensioner for the chain. The one I came up with I do not like. I need to try something else.

    I like the bars in the second picture, turn them upside down and add 4 or 5 inches as oddjob suggestEd. The springer works.

    Thanks for your positive comments. It is officially a rider, took it for a spin to day. I changed the cranks to 140 and hammered in a 43 tooth chain ring. Now I can ride it. And it rides pretty good. ( I did not test it on a steep hill). Starting to look at paint and powder coating options...

    Thank you for all of the input, I think the last one suits the bike Best. This bike was specially made for someone with 2 foot legs and 4 foot arms. I have not met this person, but they must be out there somewhere. The rules say it must be rideable. The only way I can ride it is by raising the...

    Thanks for all the comments. Mr.Toro I have come up with a different way to hold the handle bars. I have drilled the threads out of a wedge and have a bolt to tighten it down, it works the same as any other bike except it is upside down. Welding the wedge into the fork has to be exact and dose...

    Today I played with forks. This new one is about 1 inch shorter and I think it will handle better. I tried some others but they were to fat and did not fit the design as well.
