You should get her to continue to document the build this way!
 
I like your work,looks Great!!!!! :mrgreen:
 
wow your so called "not the best weld I have done" looks like mine a really good day. I wish I had a better system. What do you use MIG, TIG, STICK?

Keep up the good work, I might have to steal some of your ideas.
 
Hey Peatbog,

You've got some crazy welding skills!
I think you daughter is going to have the coolest bike on the block :D
Good luck with the build
 
man i want a welder..
and thanks, now i have the sudden urge to sand a frame bare.. :?
 
Wow...i have been a welder for the better part of 30 years..and been tinkering with aluminum at work for the past 2...you have some major skills there dude !! I am impressed !! I have an old Huffy "Cactus Flower" bicycle with a very similar frame, that a buddies wife really wants..so..i may have to try some of your tricks..can't wait to see this done..as i am sure your daughter is even more excited..great job !! :D
 
Peatbog: That chainguard is killer! Your fabricating skill are amazing, wish I could weld like that! I'll be watching this one! 8)
 
Very inspirational! I´m about to start building a bike for my wife, and you have some neat ideas on this bike. Too bad I can´t weld aluminium, or as great as you do, it would be very helpful for getting the chainguard I want... I´ll probably go with fibreglass.
Keep building, your going great!
 
Well judging for what I´ve seen, you wont have any problems with it.
I've done a couple of tanks and fenders with FGlass just for one reason... I don't have your metal working mad skills!


Totally ignoring that last comment, let me tell you that I have been thinking about your build for a long time last night and I think I´ll try fabricating the chainguard with sheet metal. So feel proud, you have inspired this RRB crazy member 8)
