No idea what the size/pitch is on the HB shifters but the BoxKars are 3/8x16tpi top and bottom. I never did get an answer from them, so I said ____ it and made it to that and said I'd send and adapter if that didn't work. It did though.

Yeah. Sand with 40 grit then switch to 80 after its all roughed. Then I use dp90(ppgs epoxy primer.) No idea what DuPont, Sikkens, Matrix, or any other brands names are though. All the shops I worked at were PPG only. Well, except Miracle decades ago, and you don't want to use anything they were.

So those are your work The_Black_Monark? If so, beautiful work and shoot me a message please. I have some that need recovered.

I get that but look at what I was talking about. The dimensions are changed(I'm pretty sure they would match with a certain Ruff frame that will not be mentioned.) from the original Kamil rendering. Just saying it's great to pay homage to a builder, but make it your own. Base it off of it, but...

Now,first off, I applaud the fact that you are building a frame. BUT I hope you got permission from Kamilos or Kahaki to build a Baron frame. Either that, or there's a HUGE coincidence(Like when PG BIKES had a frame 99.9% the same as a Kamilos rendering. At least they changed it along with the...

Would a Moderator please move this to the "Built From Scratch" section for me please? It's going to be finished when time allows. I looked and didn't see anyway to move it myself. Thanks.

Send me some parts and Ill vote for you. Oh wait.... I guess I misinterpreted that title.

Gonna have to agree. Looks like things took a swing back towards "the bicycle can be beautiful by itself" again for the most part. Lots of good stuff.

Get him a stunt wood or shorty! My first "real" board (was probably 10 years out of date when I got it but I was SO stoked!) and still the funnest one to ride. It's like skating with your shoelaces tied together on a 2x4. But you know you've accomplished something when you actually land stuff...

Mines pretty much always in the shop with me, so he's always getting his nose in everything. I know it's not bike related, but the only sneak attack she did(she was skinny from the cancer in it). My girl hated going in the shop. I say they're just doing quality control.

I have one. It been used for mock up and 2 short rides to test B.B. placement. So it has MAYBE 2 blocks ride time total. I took the lettering off it though, since they aren't paying me to advertise. If you're interested shoot me a message and if needed, I can get some pics.

Well worth the wait. Turned out beautiful!

Try searching ebay for tractor lights. Cheap and plentiful. I have a few(all of them need repair but I think I paid $5 shipped) and they look dead on for what Duchess posted. Hope that helps.

Yeah that 1 1/8" is a special order item here also. Looking forward to seeing more and don't let the fork intimidate you! They aren't that hard in reality. Bring a bike down next time you're up here, and feel free to message me when you're in town. We should meet up for a ride. My dogs a good...

Life's rough. Tacked that is. Those are just to prove that there is no photoshop-ery. I'd say that's pretty good before it hits the jig. Also just to prove you can build a straight frame without a jig(although it helps). Probably won't make the deadline since I'm still doing customers...

Anyone?!? They still haven't answered. I guess if worse comes to worse, I'll just tap it and send an adapter if it's the wrong pitch(assuming they ever reply). I know the shift knob is 3/8x16 but not sure about the bottom threads for the shifter its self.

Looks good.

Kinda. Gratuitous action shot(notice how you were spared my ugly mug!): Almost time to notch and hang it.

Good stuff! "Tilt the bottle back lets finish the cup."

I completely understand where you're coming from. Just went through that with my Grandfather. It truly sucks and you have any support from me if you need it. Hope you can make it but if not, no worries. Truly sorry about you loss.
