A bit bummed right now. I am definitely a machinist noob. I know what i want just don't think i am doing it the best way... i might bug some of my hobby machinist friends on this .one.

Hopefully the worst is behind you, nice to see you back at this project. The lines on this build are great, it all has a nice flow. Looks like you went with a head tube afterall, are you building a springer too? Now it's in need of some custom bent handlebars and seat to finish things off.

Thanks ocd. As for the headless headtube, i forgot all about it hehehe, readi.g thru the thread reminded me. They'll be others
Some of the parts im planning may come out rougher than what should be acceptable... but itll have To do.

Thanks guys! the bike is on temp hold, waiting for a new drive belt for my mill. Gives me lots of time to play with other stuff in the garage. Lathe is working nice... as for the triple trees, very simple design, wish i had more experience milling, i might waiste a couple pieces of aluminium... Got ta learn though.
