Re: cheezy board tracker 6-11 real fenders and chainguard
im half way tempted to rename it to the sheetmetal screamer.9 sheetmetal screws in this so far.
also this happened
-my older sisters boyfriend came down to meet the family yesterday, i didnt and still dont like him, but it could be worse, its not like he got kicked out of colleg- oh yeah he did. its not like he signed up to be a frontline shooter in the nav- oh yeah he did. well anyway, he came down from washington, i acted like i like him. was going good unti last night he walked through our garage and my sister told him "this is my brothers *lare*, he builds these *things*" i chuckled a little because she knows me and my bikes. then he said it "you know that bike wouldnt look so stupid if you put normal handlebars on it". . . . . . :| . . . my mom and sister looked at me, gave me a "shut up and walk away" look. i couldnt believe he just said it. well i didnt keep my mouth shut "you'd look less stupid if you kept your mouth shut" and walked away. strike one. later he said i looked like a tool for wearing knee high socks. i told him when he finds a tool to fix skin cancer, then ill buy it from him. strike two. woke up this morning, and he called me "little bro". . . :!: strike three.

I love the bike, everything but the white on the forks. Seems like they should be chrome or black? That notwithstanding, you've done a killer job on this.

Re: cheezy board tracker 6-11 real fenders and chainguard
I'm liking those Tek screws, we use 'em all the time at work! Screw anything to anything!
Bike's looking great, and remind the boyfriend there that you've got 7 thousand friends here reading this who are willing to help you get rid of a body! :shock:
Keep on doin' what you're doing! It's looking tough.

Re: cheezy board tracker 6-11 real fenders and chainguard
well after a sugar rush of epic proportion wore off, and i got a solid 3 hours of sleep, i gt tubs from the swapmeet. theyre on, but i also need to put a cain on and finish the patina in afew places. so it might need a fork in it by this afternoon.
note: took the pegs off, im not to sure bou them. ill take a picture with andwithou and try to decide.

Re: cheezy board tracker 6-11 real fenders and chainguard
well today went horribly i guess. put tubes in and aired them up. fine. rolled it and heard a racket coming from underneath, the fenders are rubbing in the front bad. and i mean baaaaad. rear tire should be bettr right? nooot. that fenders mount was rubbing all over like a lonely dog at the first sight of a human.fixed the rear, but i have no idea bout the front, just no room up there. so i took off the front fender, and went to work on the chain. cut two and made one, which was fine, but then a randon link popped, why? way to much tourqe on it.i didnt even tighten it! so it couldnt get worse right? wrong. bought pedals earlier at the swapmeet, three piece (which i didnt realize) so theyre sitting.and i had to cut an inch out of the handlebar mounts to get it down so it doesnt look stupid, so now i have to get a shorter bolt tommorow.
all thats left is
-mount front and rear fender right
-change pedals to single piece crank size
-patina one side
-cut bar mount correct
-go to store
-not cry

Re: cheezy board tracker 6-12 bad news
Bike is looking good, dude. Don't get discouraged.

Re: cheezy board tracker 6-12 bad news
Yeah dude, plenty of time left in this build off. Bike is looking sweet. Seat looks great so slammed. If you're able, cut the thread down on the bolt for the stem, save a bit of cash at least (unless you gotta buy yourself a tap and die set).
Good luck with the rest of the build.

Re: cheezy board tracker 6-13 better news
finally figured out how to do this alot faster.
pictures here --> http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set= ... 1cc0ba8749
i took it out for a 2 mile ride to an abandoned and demolished warehouse, and since it was doing sso well, figured i would take some pics. spoke to soon. i for got to secure the brake arm, which looseden when i stopped, and my tire slammed into the side of the frame. i dont really mind, but the wak home wasnt to good. got some good pictures. rode it to summerschool today:not a hitch other than the bars werent tight, which was my fault.four people asked if they could sit on it, so ofcourse i said yeah, and apprently it looks like a motorcycle because three of the four people who sat on it started making motorcycle noises. but alas, it was a successful day. now to the front fender!
