When you first started the saddle, I was thinking that it looked kinda large. But now that I see it on the 10' bike, it looks perfectly in scale!

Great job!

Couldn't help myself, so I threw the rims roughly in place and grabbed the tape measure. It should end up right around 10 feet (or 300cm) longView attachment 233254View attachment 233255View attachment 233256

I really like the lines of this idea. I'll keep watching this because it looks like it has lots of good possibilities. Your seat is great.

Taking *another* break. I've had a migraine since 10 am, and it just started to go away an hour ago.

I got a bunch of stuff done earlier, but it's slow going now. Can't move too fast or it feels like a knife is being twisted in my head

Its all that thinking and designing that's making your head hurt!

Sorry man. That's the worst when you have time to work on a thing, but you're incapacitated, or highly limited in your ability to do so.

Speed holes make everything better. I also made a mid tube that will help tie in the rear section

[LeMad Hatter]

Wanted to get the rear end started today, but can't. Hoping my head doesn't hurt as bad tomorrow. Hoping everyone else has a good night

 

[LeMad Hatter]

Starting this morning off light with some rolls

Going to make 4 of these out of some scrap off cuts as kickers to wrap around the rear wheel

 

[LeMad Hatter]

They've got the right shape in two of the three axis I want. Going to make a few cuts on the top side so I can tie them into the nice flowing mid tube

 

[LeMad Hatter]

I ended up making the cuts 1" apart, and about 3/4 of the way through the tubing

It's a very subtle effect that's hard to capture on camera, but totally worth the effort

 

[LeMad Hatter]

Pictures are hard to convey what I'm trying to do, so here's a video

 

[LeMad Hatter]

Got one side tacked in place. Should have plenty of tire clearance. This will make the whole rear end almost 9 inches wide. Like Freddy Mercury said "fat bottom girls make the world go round"

 

[LeMad Hatter]

Those are going to be some thick hips!

Good thing I double checked the wheel's axle spacing. I was going off the wrong measurement and would have made the rear end too wide

 

[SkyknightJohn]

A lot of progress! You're really bringing the vision to life.

 

[LeMad Hatter]

Well crud! I ran out of gas. And I was at the freaking welding supply store today and didn't check the tank before I left home first

 

[Brian macumber]

Going to be a lot of welding on the cuts bike is coming along nicely.

Thanks! Yeah, I was at it for half an hour before I ran out of gas and I'm less than half done

 

[LeMad Hatter]

Lots of work still to be done. Thinking about doing a subtle waisting effect on the bottom trail dragger bars. They would be the only long straight metal piece on the whole bike if I left it as is

This is probably most of you getting notifications from me today, lol
