Coming along very nicely.
This just keeps getting cooler every time I see it. The graphics look great too. I know I'm not the only one that can't wait to see this finished. It's not even put together yet and you already have my vote. Of course, I am a sucker for a nice cycle truck.:banana::rockout:

Painted !!!:eek::cool:

Tried to put it all back togetter yesterday , but decided to make a chainring change , now i need a wider chain , wich also delay the rear hub wirering

Decided to try to use the original shifter wich had the cover broken , i just decided to screw a big interesting washer over it to make it look cleaner.

Also had issues with brake levers , my 2 best choices of levers were ''vintage'' and verry nice , but only had about 1/8'' pull .. so i had to use what i had at hand 'plastic ugly one' temporary fix to be able to get it on the road .

Have to cut the seat post about 2 '' too , its perfect position as is , but i need to be abble to put both heals down to stabilise he load when iam stopped

--Opted for a old SturmeyArcher thumb shifter i found in my parts
shifts pretty good !
--Gear ratio is to be tested , but looks perfect!
--Had issue with the stand cable not holding well in the handle ,That's fixed too !
--The pedals and brake levers might change eventually , but its done and rides so good !
--With everything lubed and tighten , the handling is even better than my first test ride wich i thought was already verry good.
--Not seeing through the rack does not bother at all , even tho the bike looks big , i stand tall on it and see very well the road ahead:thumbsup:

Next thing is to test with a heavy load and long cargo :)
