I lay them out freehand. They asked me again the tire size for the pre-curve applicator. The last time I did it for a 24" bike tire, it didn't fit. This will be my first 20", so we'll see how it goes.

Turned out great! The wheel was a whole project just by itself!
can't push the Like Button enough for that rear wheel. Holy cow.
No joke! I went slow because no one has ever done something like this to one of these and I wanted to get it right. Plus it's hotter than Hades here, so crimps my build time. Thanks for the suggestion on speaker clips!
Starting assembly.

Looks great!
Some build progress.
I'm not sure that's the mother of god. Looks more like the Monty Python guy. Then again

There are so many doctors, 'who' can keep track?It's Doctor Who. But apparently, doctor who?
Got it in the Sun to test the kickstand height. It’s a little tall with the new fork so I’m going to shave it a little.
The cups fell out of the frame when I got the bike. I should have addressed it before I got them chromed but had so many other things to think about I didn’t. I obviously remembered when I put the headset together. I was hoping just tightening the adjustment real tight would be enough, but when moving the bike I felt movement. So I decided the shim them with aluminum and set them in with JB Weld. I’ll let this cure for 2 days then put it back together.
