FENIX- Finished!

[kingfish254]

I just noticed there are 5 donor bikes here to make this one: Micargi, Rollfast, Monark, Beast, and a OCC chopper.

It's a BROMM build!

My SA 3 speed hub arrived yesterday…now I can begin lacing the rim.


I also picked up a small steel plate for the seat post support

This is by far one of my favorite builds.. really looking forward to seeing the finished product

 

[Funkme]

Starting to come together now.

Really diggin the lines and that front fork! The seat should look good too

I haven't had much time to work on Fenix but I did managed to get my wheels build and dropouts done. I found a 60T aluminum chainring…I now need to make and add the disc brake supports to the frame.

So cool seeing that fork raked out. Looking good.

I'm making headway on a few things; the Sturmey Archer 3 speed came with a handlebar shifter (not my favorite). I decided to make it into a stick shift, using a donor bike fork. With a tube bender and a little finessing I managed to get the shape I wanted.



The chrome shift ball, I found recently at a thrift store.

 

[kingfish254]

Great idea!

I finished the seat post and the gusset for the rear bridge. The middle tube is the actual seat stem. I love the look of saddles that are slammed on a bike, but for practical riding, the seat must have an adjustable height.

Your bikes are always pushing the envelope. Very cool indeed. Keep the inspiration rolling.

Rummaging through my parts yesterday, I found this butterfly kickstand and these pedals.

I am using the same pedals on my current built. They have a great look to them.

 

[fordsnake]

Gigmata, so cool!

Almost everything is now tacked in place. I'm still working on the stick shift (but it works) I just need to finesse the fitting. i also abandoned the front springer for a very cool headlight I found?

I'm leaving Sunday for a road trip to Colorado for a week...I've asked a friend to complete the welding while I'm on the road. Hopefully I'll have about 3 weeks to finish when I return. I've got my fingers x'ed.

Love it, love those headlamps also, was drooling at those last week on ebay but they cost fortunes, bit like those old microphone conversions I have seen before only beefier!
