Looks cool but we know full well you can't sit on ink. I have faith you'll get it ready to ride in no time.

I don't like it, I LOVE IT.
I really do think it looks better the way you have it now compared to the front spring and jackshaft version. It was too busy. This is much cleaner and leaner.
Agreed!I don't like it, I LOVE IT.

Family wedding tomorrow, then spending time with other family for a couple of days, then I will back on the build!
I could see taking a trip to Australia, just to take a spin on this bad boy...
Where did you get those skyhooks for the seat and bars???
Thanks!
Correct, that is a 21" wheel and tire off a Harley Davidson.
Health has knocked me around a bit, had the Flu, which compounded my other health issues...
Did this video a few days ago, only now getting around to putting it in the thread:
Was pretty sure that would be the end for the moment, but did some more night time work today: (well, yesterday now!)
New fatter and stiffer tube welded in and some added flat braces to transfer loading further around the curves:
That moved the wheel backwards slightly due to the larger diameter tube, so I had to extend the chain, but one link is too much, so until I get an adjuster mounted in place behind the crank, it will run a floating chainring:
Still not sure if it will make the finish line... 5 days to go!

well done! 
glad your feeling better
if you put lock tight in the pedals , you could run the drive train on the leftside no?

Thanks G-Matt!
Yes, that would work, could easily weld a chainring to the other crank too, but problem solved now anyway!well done!

Luke, that floating & spinning chain-wheel stuck in there as a functional chain tensioner is the coolest thing I have ever seen. LEAVE IT THERE and to heck with the usual boring kind. Spinning and floating down the road held only by tension...... 
I'm trying, looks like it will be getting a temporary seat and bars, run out of time for my double spring leather covered spoon seat!

Nearly gave up on making the deadline with a riding bike, but I already missed a deadline once with this build, so kicked it up a gear and threw on a temporary seat and mount:
Tacked on a stem clamp and some flat bars:
And went for a ride!
Does a pedal stand nicely too!

I will continue to work on the bike in the future, lots still to do!
