Black-n-Tan Build

[Billy Bueno]

Frame Update: It's finished & will be shipped out on Friday. Stay tuned!!

Ok, everything is ordered & on it's way!

I didn't want to take a chance & not have the skiptooth sprocket not be compatible with the chain.

So, I made a few changes to some of the parts that I will be using.

Mmmmm, NICE!

I am anxious for everything to get here, so I can put her together & take her for cruise!!

You're using the exact chain as I just put on my latest build, down to the color. It stands out, for sure.

Having a couple of frame issues. Going to have to relocate the bottom bracket.

Chain rubbing?

Chain rubbing?

No, I am going to move the BB from it's current location to the front of the downtube. This will give me more leg room to pedal. I just need to cut out a gusset that goes with the flow of the frame.

Careful you don't get too close to the front tire, you will need toe clearance when turning.
