[ingola]

I'm in with this monark super cruiser..

 

[LukeTheJoker]

Nice starting point! What's your plans?

 

[Funkme]

Simple, nice bones, is always a great start.

 

[MattiThundrrr]

I know the plans... Gonna be so wild! Good name choice too. Can't wait to see how the lumber polishes up

 

[ingola]

Time to get started raining this morning so indoor stuff tried on the beehive

Fits good time to build wheels

 

[marshall hudson]

Solid start. Lots of potential there.

A little bit of leather some wheels and bits hope to smash it all together to make a bike.

Oooooo! The beehive springer is likely my all time favorite bike part. Excited to see where this goes.

Tank, pedels, chaingauard., Was going to do fenders but in experimenting black Mable does not bend well.

Wheels are build they were painted (started from another project)Nissan berry burgundy, laced with a nexus three speed with coaster, and a set of cream fat Franks anyone ever try to remove the reflective stripe

 

[MattiThundrrr]

Cream and burgundy are going to look so rich with a good finish on the maple.

 

[ingola]

Some sparks because it's a build off and we enjoy sparks.looks less cool with a dremel

Took the fork apart getting it ready for a soak in citric acid. Think the spring is a lost cause but I have a plan.

If the wife asks no I did not do that in the kitchen.

We love sparks, the smell of burnt paint, and the smell of slag.

Just don't touch it while it's red. Don't care for that smell too much.

I put creme fat Frank's on a build I gave to a friend.

Once or twice a year it gets taken down the canal to run all the black off the tread with the textured cement.
