Re: CYCOBILLY DELUXE - Holy Rollers, Batman........
These will probably be the tires I will use. They fit in the fork and frame easily

Re: CYCOBILLY DELUXE - High Tech Rig!!
I didn't get to do any welding today, as I had a guy come to look at a car I have for sale, and also had to take a truckload of tree branches and garden cuttings to the dump. Now it's BBQ time .
Here's a pic of my high tech (or is it redneck?) rig for checking the chain line and for tire clearance All looks good. I love it when a plan comes together!

Nice. I'm a big fan of breaking out all the high tech equipment for a build.

Nevermind, I will come up with something else... :wink:

Beautiful lines on the frame. Lots of customs seem to lose some elegance but this one is so much nicer than what you started with.
Great eye.

Re: CYCOBILLY DELUXE - Machining and Stamping......
Thanks bruce. I appreciate the comments.
Not much done the last couple of days. I sold a car, so had a bit of stuff to do around that. I did get the rims to the powdercoaters though. We have a four day weekend coming up, so hope to get the frame welded and finished.

Re: CYCOBILLY DELUXE - Tacked and Mocked......
Maaaaaan..............what a job I had to try and get the BB shell square and straight............pretty hard when nothing else on the frame is lined up Gotta love these top quality Chinese frames!!
I only tacked it up so I can fit the BB and check to see if I've got a good and true chainline. If not it will be easier to heat and get straight.
I know the BB shell looks a bit high in the pic, but it will be sitting a lot lower with different wheels and tires.

Re: CYCOBILLY DELUXE - Uncle Stretch time???
The more I look at this frame, the more I dislike it :shock: . I was thinking about changing the rear dropouts and a couple of other things, and then started thinking I should have just built a frame from the get go.
I'll probably do an Uncle Stretch and cut this one up.

Re: CYCOBILLY DELUXE - Cut it up - New CAD image......
Yep............it's done :shock: Looked at it on and off for a couple of hours this morning, and broke out the saw.
I may or may not use the rear triangle, but have done a CAD representation of what I'm shooting for. In case anyone is wondering, CAD is my acronym for Chalk Aided Drawing

Re: CYCOBILLY DELUXE - Got Steel......
I picked up some tube today. 32mm for the main frame and 22mm for the stays.....I wanted 19mm for the stays, but they were out of it, and I didn't want to wait another week until it arrives. Starting to bend tomorrow
