wuhoo!! Add another washer!

Nick it looks fantastic.

You'll like this bike the best cuz of how hard it was on you in the build most likely. It's worth it.

UPDATE 15


Mounted the chainguard this afternoon :wink: Took a little fabricating work with the Dremel to clear a notch for the tire I think it came out pretty good :mrgreen: I think I'm almost done. I have a few details and bar choice left :wink: I might run bobbed fenders too, but I'm not sure :mrgreen:

Re: ★★ Hot Rod Deluxe ★★(UPDATE 14- It's a Rider!!)

Cool. Get those other handlebars on there so we can get about a dozen people divided up evenly telling you each bar is the best. :mrgreen:

That's what I was planning :lol:

Better and better.


I still think you should have used the steak knife on the tire.

So glad you stuck with that chain guard. Totally worth the effort.

Now I look at that fork and wonder how it works. I guess when the wheel hits a bump the force goes up and compresses the spring from the bottom? Interesting. Glad you saved the fork too. This bike is sweet.
