Still need to build a 29" front for this guy, That and a better light. Kinda had this one sitting around. Oh and new paint

That is one waaay-back laaay-back seatpost!

Tell me about it. I already trimmed 2 inches off it and might take more, but the length is pretty good ror peddling. Might take the seat tube down a little more too

Part of the origination of the name "Bobber" comes from bobbing or shortening the rear fender. Your bike would look even cooler with a shortened rear fender.

Thanks! I had two partial fenders that weren't quite long enough for what I wanted, so I married the 2 together. It came out better than I hoped, and mimicked the riveting on an airplane (this is a 1945 Spitfire).

I have tried it, but with bolts and didn't like it very much. I had also bolted the pieces only in the middle. It looks great with rivets though.
