Lead Sled (Vlog 2 Posted)

I thought it might be fun to throw in some detail ideas as I go, but not really say how I plan to incorporate them until later. Here's a good one!

Just catching up on this one. I'm starting to see the flow of the bike. I love how that rear end is shaping up.
Ready to see how you build a fire breathing spark plug. FLAME ON!!

Nice video update. If I could throw in one suggestion, next time film in landscape, like a movie. Then the entire bike frame will be in the shot much closer.

Thanks for the tip. I think I will actually get my wife to hold the camera (phone). Lol

I think I will leave the flame-throwing to Mondo Gecko! Lol

Hey what happened with this cool build????

 

[IronDio]

Well, Summer got away from me. A little too much happened and I just realized that the deadline is this weekend. I just don't have it in me to put in all nighters and throw together something halfa** in this competition. I'm super bummed out about it, but, I'm out. Maybe next year.

Good luck everbody!

I did find a sweet Hiawatha frame at the swap meet this weekend...

I threw the crank and the wheels that were going to be on the lead sled. I had a chain guard off an old Packard bicycle that had just been sitting around. I had to paint it to match the frame, so I sprayed some red oxide primer down and then misted low gloss black over it until it looked good.

I can probably get this to a point where I'm happy with it by this weekend, but I don't think it would be much of a competitor.
Thoughts?

Well, if you aren't going to pull the wheels off it on Aug 1, why don't you use your awesome rat-ification technique you used on the chain guard and do the rims as well? I was advised to do that to my shiny bits on my BBD, and am so happy I did! Your bike is actually very cool, especially to us "rust lovers"....some great parts and frame and overall look. My 2 cents...

Use your frame swap if you can and call if finished, I'd ride the wheels off that thing.
