So, I went on an extended ride on Saturday, and came home with a sunburn on my forearms. Stayed inside to protect my rosy inner elbows for the remainder of my weekend. Did manage to figure out my new vinyl cutter, though...

I would need to go buy more vinyl before I do any of that. I really picked it up to do paint masks/stencils.OoooOOOooooohh! Dave, are you taking orders to fund your build off bike?
Yeah, cut down an OCC Stingray until all that is left is the rear triangle and the bottom tube forward to the bottom bracket. Now I need to build up the pivot points, and add some triangulated braces to keep the whole thing from twisting. The BB on the original frame will become the pivot point for the swingarm, and will probably require some reinforcement, itself.Grasshopper.... you've really 'snatched the pebble' with that tire Dave! And that swing arm..?!?
I have to go back and see how that evolved.
Not many updates to share. Getting kind of overwhelmed with work, so I have spent my little bits of shop time on other minor projects. I think that I am going to try to finish this up without the electric drive. I just got another frame, and it is SCREAMING for a hub motor-to-mid-drive conversion.
Yeah, the bars and the basket are an integrated unit by Origin-8. The frame on these Raleigh cruisers from the '90s ARE aluminum, but the fork is cro-mo. I like the heron in the chainwheel, too. I don't think I really have any more pics in my phone of that one, except for the hubs before I laced up the wheels. Alloy-shelled coaster brake rear and hollow axle bmx front hub.
