"Marion"

[sensor]

well....im in :shock:
this isnt going to be a high dollar build(ive set a budget of $20 for new parts in case i need to make something or get bearings)...its basically going to be stuff thats been collecting dust in the shop for a long time.
why "Marion" you ask?

Marion Davies is why....
this way i can also refer to this bike either as "Marion" or "The Flying Flapper" :lol:
shes gonna be a fast girl from the jazz age
anyhow.....pics

see you guys at the finish line!

Marion rides a motor-bike

Big chances that Marion "washes" competition I think :lol:

Builds like this, Kota´s, Doc´s, Gaskill´s and many more are giving me the need for a build you know...

 

[Skipton]

This bike may just have the coolest set of parts in the Build Off :mrgreen:

+1.....Freakin' awesome!!!

 

[sensor]

well.....i doubt she'll 'wash' the competition(not in it to win it....just to finally build this is all) but she may be 'hung out to dry'
thanks for the compliments....i did find a spare headset and put the forks back on and should be able to make it to the steel shop on tuesday so updates fairly soon
anyhow.....i forgot to mention that some stuff on the frame didnt come that way....so heres the painting pics

(finished ones a page back)

anything to add Marion?

i guess its a good thing im on vacation this week!

 

[Gdcast]

Marion is a real cooker my friend!
So, I guess it will be lots of progress this week.
