I think i figured it out... also welded the bracket for the chainguard
With the rear fender mounted..
Now time to grind and prime it!
Frank
I also had to realign my rear part of the frame after welding..
Today i started cleaning up the welds, and after 1 minute grinding my angle grinder just decide to quit on me
Well no other option than filing...
More labour intensive but worth the time
And my headtube was i bit deformed from welding the top tube so that needed some straightening to

Digging the design and effort you are putting into this cool build. Can't wait to see more.
That bottom tube turned out awesome! but I cant stop staring at all the cool tools on the wall
Thanx guys!
Seeing al the cool builds that are going on in this buildoff and on the forum really inspires me!
And about the tools, thats on of the benefits of working in a bike shop
But the cool part is that that's the bench nobody uses so it has the least tools

At last vacation! Got same work done today
Cleaned up the welds a bit with a file, removed the powdercoating and put the frame in my high tech paint booth
Primed it so it wouldnt rust
Placed my wiring through the front frame for my rear light, it will eventually come out the frame near my rear wheel.
Mounted my bracket
Then i did an assembly
I decided to go with a fork i had leftover from my previous bike because when i need to fabricate a fork i'm not gonna make the deadline
I still need to shorten to fork, shorten the steer and finally paint everything, frame, tripletree, rear fender, chainguard, rear sprocket and the kickstand.
Thats all for today now its time for a beer

Petje af, ziet er goed uit. Leuk dat er eens iemand uit Nederland meedoet. Ga zo door.
Looking good, keep it up. Nice too see someone from the Netherlands participating in the build off.
I like the lines especially where the seat stays curve around to line up with the top tube but then you see the top tube curve under. Great job!At last vacation! Got same work done today

That Frankenstein frame really came out great!!!
You should post it over on the CABE and ask if they can help you determine the year and make of it.
The build is looking sweet!

A little update today..
Started on the paint job which was a bit disappointing because i think i had some bad paint but i'm sticking to it..
Triple tree painted
Frame and cog painted
Kickstand and handlebars painted
The bad news is al my paint was bubbling and i dont know why, i started with the orange for the accents and that was good but the green just bubbled a lot
The white parts are going to be painted a kind of burgundy red and i still need to paint the chainguard and the fender but for today i had enough...
