KING NOTHING

[Chips_Mahoy]

Trying to visualize it from the top and side. Not using these forks. They're just on to hold up the front.

 

[Chips_Mahoy]

And a side view to visualize the profile and length. It'll definitely be longer than what you see here!

Looking cool! Longer will look even better!

It doesn't loo like much right now. But just wait...

 

[ifitsfreeitsforme]

looks good, and I'm ok with those forks too.

 

[Chips_Mahoy]

Thanks but this forks don't match the flow of the design.

So it appears you have the hardest part under control.
You know what does not suit your idea.

I'm liking it, I think the old bike is going to live.

Watching this one for sure. Already looks cool and it's just pieces of a frame.

Has anyone ever removed a decal off something and used a spray adhesive on it so it can be reused?

Never done it, but sounds like a fine idea to me. You could also use a brush on adhesive.

Didn't think of brush on adhesives. This decal is starting to peel off but is in too good of shape to trash and too hard to replace.

 

[Kroozerdave]

Could you mount the decal on a backing then glue that on where you want?

Too good to replace or lose makes he descion difficult.

 

[Chips_Mahoy]

It is a tough decision. I'm going to have to do some research on the various adhesives available to see which might suit the need.

Been sick the past couple days so I've been fighting dismounting the tire from the rim. It's no fun trying to muscle stuff apart when you're only running on 50% power. Going to relace it with new and heavier spokes. This should be a good contrast to the 1" wide front going on the KING....

Hmmmm a fat tire on the rear, half of a hex tube frame, and a possibility of suspension. What else have you got up your sleeve?

 

[Chips_Mahoy]

Hard to tell in the pic but that's the front tire lined up to the rear rim for comparison.

And now Rocky III is on TV. It's in the middle of his motivational montage so how could I NOT be uber motivated to build now?!?!

The same thing all Generals do..... (Sorry, couldn't resist. Childhood joke came to mind. Been sick, remember?)

This is going to be very cool!

 

[Chips_Mahoy]

Thinking of incorporating this into the build somehow...

I think an '35-'36 elgin bluebird styled fork would look killer on this thing!
