Stupid cranks. Or should I say stupid human

Got the spindle, chainring, bearings and right side all set up. Moved on to something else, came back to throw the left side on and realized I had the arms swapped. Tear it all back out for a do over

I feel your pain. Here is photographic evidence from the early 70s. I had relaced the rear wheel myself and when the bike was flipped I installed everything backwards. I still remember tearing it all back down for a do-over.
EDIT: And YES, that is foil tape on the sissy bar.

I’m just here to inspire people to eat

Not the inspiration that I'm taking. If this look catches on, I know of a warehouse that's full of bikes. I never really needed another reason, but thanks

Love the look you have going so far Capt! Really like that Michelin Runt tire. Size?

I love it . The seat mounts are rad and a great alternative to a sissy bar. The apes are nice. Are they exerciser bars?

Thanks!

Those struts are adjustable mirror mounts for a KW or Mack semi or dump truck. One of the many things that the company I work for makes. Stainless steel

The bars are “minis” I got from Husky awhile back. Ordered several sets

Very cool! Amazing how quickly this came together too. Good stuff!

I get distracted easily but sometimes I can thrash when needed

Lookin’ sporty.

Nice contrast between the crispy frame and the shiny bits.
I like how you used the long throw stem to be able to setup the apes for an adult without having the angle them way forward.
Those seat (mirror) struts are killer. Cool early MX vibe.

Remember that one guy that said “don’t wait until the last minute”?

Planned a ride to the river but instead I am packing for the airport. Duty calls so a quick jaunt around the neighborhood was all I could get in. Oh well

Here’s what I got

I think the dookie pic without the tall sign shows of the bike the best. Some of the other pics the lighting keeps you from seeing the burnt browns.
