I've got my new bearings I'll have a pic later could be rolling by next week

Thats where the pace of modern life can be a ball ache! Try and take inspiration from other builds for motivation and drive. You'll get there in the end. Keep your chin up mate.

Sounds like a plan fella. Always helps to spur you on when you can see things starting to come together too.

Right just got home from work and I've done my front wheel just waiting on bearings to mount it

Yes it's fixed so I can reverse lol .

Also fitted my bars
I'm sorry Luke I tyred the bars the right way up just didn't like them I think they look a lot better like this

Hopefully I'll get my seat painted today and the holes drilled to mount it
Then all that's left on the list is bearings
Paint and wrap the frame
Bolt the seat on
Light ?
Bolt the front wheel on
And all the little bits that make it lol

Let me know what you think : D

Cannot wait to see this built. I would personally add a retro light of some sort. Maybe even try and find a cheap Bates style headlamp.

Thanks Luke
I'm getting my bearings from work and every time they say they have got some they don't fit so I'm going to get my own of ebay. So it should be in July she will be rolling
I'm going to do everything so bolting the bearings on is the last thing

Ok just ordered my front wheel bearings

Should look ok on the back of the forks I don't want them on the front cos they look a bit out of place.
But I don't want my front wheel to far back and look like I drove it in to a wall so I'll have a look now they look wen I get them and still and tap the holes
They will be hear on the 26th

I ordered some pillow blocks for my jackshaft. I had seen them used but was blown away by the large size when they arrived. I find now that after a little adjustment they work better than previously thought. Hope your installation goes smooth with them. They seem bullet proof. Your build is looking good.

I think I would personally go with some bearing that press tight into a sleeve or clamshell bolt on.

The bearings I've got will be a tight fit on my axel and there's clamps that will hold it tight on there and bolt on to my forks they will be good
