Curved Odyssey

[28incher]

I'm going to use this frame as my build with under two weeks left. It is going to do all the visual heavy lifting. I don't have time to look to far for the add on parts, so its what ever I find in my parts bin. I will update pictures as the project progresses. Now where's that sand blaster!?...

W.T.F., I have never seen one of those. Keep us updated, that is way cool.

 

[Tommy S.]

Seriously? That is a production frame? :shock: :shock: :shock: Wowzer, that looks crazy (in a good way)

I'm going to take Karfer67's advice and not repaint this frame. Therefore I am not going to use it.
I will be using a another frame. I will post pics of it soon.

Here is my replacement frame.

Actually, this is my third frame. On the second frame pictured below, I discovered a serious rust hole surrounded by many pin holes, near the cross member on the right rear curved stay and thought it was too unsafe to use. I do not have time to have it repaired. I am not selling any of these frames at this time, but have not ruled out the possibility at some point. The frames do not all have the curved fork. One has the truss rod fork, which was an option from 1938 on. Tomorrow is priming day. Must keep moving as I am still at the starting line, but I do have a clear vision of the end result so it's looking like a nail biter now.

Great tip in your finished thread about using a sod farm as a back drop. :idea: Once I take my beaters for a shoot at the one I know, your bike will still make them look like crap. :lol:
