Wut ah buuut!
Thats one sweet build. I hope to do something like this for my son in a few years when he's old enough to ride.
I have always just used a hammer as my fancy BB cup installation tool.
Looks awesome! 8)
uhhhhh.......WOW!
This is shaping up to be one of the nicest bikes, boy's/girl's doesn't matter, that I've seen in along time.
Finish strong!
Cheers,

This one is AWESOME.
Been wanting to do a billet type build myself for a while - like BMX color coordinated stuff, etc.. but this is over the top.
I'm a machinist myself and still can't believe it, wow.
almost done ? will be great to see it all together.

The headlight (shown above) was too big also, so I took it off and replaced it with another:
...which looks kinda nifty from the front, but still looks just not right, so I might reconsider the headlight idea.
Dont dump the headlight, try attaching it to the truss backet bolt, sometimes its not the size but possition.. I was having the same issue with My Muscle bike build, I have it pictured on top like yours hooked on to the stem bolt and I now moved it to the front of the stem hooked on to the pinch bolt, and it looks a lot better..try it out
Here is my Corvette with the headlight on the Truss Bolt
I agree, move it down to the truss rods. Here's how my stingray looks with the headlight...boybluela said:

can't beat the retro look of a headlight!
Impressive Work! And Fancy too.
The headlight looks good in it new position. Nice Job.
