    Rolling rolling rolling I changed my mind for bottom bars. Decided to make one more shaped like a shelby Got the bottom tank bar curved. All that's left is to roll the top tube Sent from my SM-G900R4 using Tapatalk

    I have a couple days of progress in, I will split them by day. The rear triangle was all sorts of tweaked, from the original damage, and my re-shaping. I tacked some plates on the drop outs to hold their shape. Tacked some broken braze spots Got it as square as I could and put it back in the jig...

    Got a little more done. Decided to switch head tubes. 2 reasons. The Shelby has large holes where the lugs came through head tube, and went with a girls head tube so i didn't have to trim the steer tube on the forks Triple Tree fork from Warren Wong came with every adapter and shim I needed

    I haven't thought that far ahead, but I should be good. My secret bag of goods will leave me with a pretty small chain profile. (there's a hint to the bag!) Sent from my SM-G900R4 using Tapatalk
