Right up my alley on wild factor! sweet build, cant wait to see how this turns out

Finished the fabrication today and started sanding. last thing to do is drill for nutserts for the shifter and paint can start flying. tempted to just clear coat it..... we shall see!

Yup tuning in for this one!

Thanks Luke!

Busted out the bars tonight and mount to the steer tube. Starting to really look like something now!

Nice fab work! sweet build. mine is not nearly as cool as yours but my wife and daughters found this while Christmas shopping last year and got it for me...

Thanks. Probably my least favorite thing to do since it takes the most time lol

Got some more work done today. Made the top caps for the fork and crossbar, still have to fab up the plate to bolt the top of the fork to the steer tube. handle bars tomorow maybe... And also got the bottom bracket tacked in last night. Getting closer.

Got forks now. Gonna use some screw on pegs as top caps since they sleeve right over the fork legs. I'll cut em down and pretty them up so they aren't so obvious and ill make it to where i can bolt em down. Might integrate the handle bars into the top caps... Just an idea. And also picked the...

Got wheels!!! Chuck laced up these 80mm 26s i got from him a little while back. Straight lace up front and 3 cross rear to a nexus 3speed. Also scored some tires and a shifter. Awesome guy to deal with. Heres a terrible picture of everything piled up...

Not sure what will look good... i usually run through a few different bars before one sticks

set up a visual today to see what ive got and to measure for fork legs. I hate the bars on it lol. both right side up and flipped. going to have to go another route or do a ton of modification to get those to work.

not much to report but I did manage to drop the 80's off last night to get built. Ill be ordering tires soon. And I can continue on with the build throughout this week and next. Shooting for my usual end of the month deadline. Here's a fuzzy pic of the hoops...

Thanks! Not stuck on a color yet. And thinking of building a truss style triple tree fork for it.

Thanks guys i appreciate it. Hopefully i can get it going again as soon as possible. May drop off my hoops this weekend and begin on my fork immediately after. First time fabricating a fork from scratch hope it goes well

Thanks for the compliments guys. Need to see a guy about getting some wheels built, and i'll continue with the fork asap

Made a steer tube for the beginning of the fork build. I put a steep rake on the neck tube because i wanted a really tight/responsive steering. i will work a pitch into the fork to get the front wheel where i want it. Just using these 100s for mockup but will run black 80s on the finished bike...

use soapy water while drilling. will go through like butter.

Haven't decided if i want to use the american BB that came on the Phat or go another route. Done with the rest of the frame for now. May draw up some gussets for added strength in a few places. And ill rummage through my scraps to see if i can find a tube to sleeve the seat tube.

Got a Phat Whopper Chopper frame from indz-chuckz a few weeks ago and decided i should chop it up to get bits and pieces out of it. Here's where its at today... annnnnnnnnd......boom Widened the rear end of the frame to accept a 26x100 and created a center section to go with whats left of the...
