    Cleveland Klunker. Finished

    No I haven't got down in the basement to work on it yet! The gt made it half a step, from my van into the basement, but that's the closest I have got to progress. I suppose your keeping to your normal pace and are about done already! Lol Sent from my SM-G900R4 using Tapatalk

    I gathered bikes and parts expecting another off road build off, oh well. Just going to go for it now. I will start off with my cwc frame This frame had a hard life. Looks to have been hit or run over then welded back together The whole thing is a little out of wack so going to replace the...

    Stretched Shelby

    So what started out was supposed to be a stretched shelby trike, but with equipment failure, some financial issues, and just plain running out of time it is a way different beast than I had planned. So on one hand it is a serious of mistakes and bad luck it ended up not a trike and not as much...

    It's really not that bad, a mountain rider like you would hardly notice, plus they look so cool! Sent from my SM-G900R4 using Tapatalk

    The off set is not bad for peddling being as far away from the bb as I am. I somewhat built the bike around the slim chain line so switching to a standard chain ring I fear the chain would hit the seat stays. The crank arms could be a little shorter, but they will work my foot really doesn't hit...

    With the bb so far out front it's not bad on flat ground. Down hill with a tail wind! Sent from my SM-G900R4 using Tapatalk

    I finally got to spend a day in the shop. Got my new dropouts cut to shape and ground smooth Cut the old drop outs off, but left tabs for welding the new one to it. It appears I forgot to take a picture of them welded to the bike. If anyone remembers Victoria's secret from my pile of parts here...

    Yeah I wanted to come but I was unable to fund the trip. His name was corey, and he did tell me you 2 had talked. As you can see this year I didn't have my bike done to enter in the show, although I think I could have came up with a few to enter! Sent from my SM-G900R4 using Tapatalk

    Been pretty busy with a bunch of other little projects haven't had time to work in the shop. Got down here tonight before supper and cut out for the bb as seen in the last picture. Got the frame set back in the jig and squared up the bb and got it tacked in place. I have to make some different...
