    Yea I wasn't sure at first, but its growing on me. Besides, the guys that use plates typically attach them with a clamp ring of some sort. Thought id try something a little different. I also had the para cord here, so one less item to purchase. I appreciate the feedback!

    So I stained the wooden truss bars and added a leather pouch. The handle grips are just leather bootlaces. I wrapped them like my road bike bars just in reverse so the handlebar plugs keep it together. There is two pieces left to complete this bike. Im going to add some more stained wood. I...

    Good morning :emo: I finally got through some trial and error with the next stage of this build. At the beginning of this project I wanted that cafe/board track racer look. Now that I have worked on this, I realized its taking a different look than I originally thought. Not that I mind, I never...
