Re: Board Track Style Bicycle From England
Hi everyone, bit of an update.I have been bending, cutting, filling, sanding and spraying all last week and over the weekend and here is where
i'm up to.I had to make a support to go under the seat to stop it dropping backwards and hitting the rear fender, so I came up with something simple,
but it works.So I cut it out and got painting.
Here is what it looks like on the bike.
.
It does the job, strong and now the seat doesn't move backwards and forwards.
I have managed to get the chain guard to fit! It took and bit of work with the dremel and drilling.I made a little bracket to support the front.
Then bent it into shape, so as it didn't rub on the chain.I then did the paint and rust effect.As as before.
I think it looks nice and really gives it a nice look with the lines.
I have nearly finished the oil tank, here is what I've done so far.
I needed to make two cut outs either end.One to allow the bottom of the seat support and one for the top of the kickstand bracket.
I quite like the design.I cut out three planks wide, as it looked nicer.
Did a bit of filling and sanding.
Primer and then started on the paint.
Just need to do the paint flicking and matt lacquer, then I can get it on the bike.Picture of it fitted soon.I have got the three
brackets painted and ready for it too.
The kickstand is now on.Had to make another custom bracket, as this kickstand screwed directly into the donor bicycle before.
More pictures coming of the oil tank fitted, when the paints done.The rough design has been made for the head badge.
Thanks Charlie
