Maybe one more

Uncle Stretch, you said you bought some of the Duplicolor red speck? Retro red? I painted my last lowrider with it. You can't see it full look from the pics, but it is cool.

 

[No Talent Clown]

By the way, I love this new build.

 

[Rat Rod]

Dang...that paint looks nice. :shock:

 

[maddogrider]

I gotta get some red speck.

 

[udallcustombikes]

You have yellow and orange. This one will be red. You need green and purple and then you will have a bag of Skittles. Taste the Rainbow, Uncle. Taste the Rainbow.

 

[Uncle Stretch]

Skittles huh. Thats funny

Man that is just what I'm looking for. That looks good. Glad you like my build.
Working on a trick for my BB if it works I should have some pics tomorrow.
Didn't get any bike stuff done today ...washed my van and changed the oil. Spilt more oil than the Exxon Valdez. :lol:

 

[Uncle Stretch]

Ok I got the part made to hold my bottom bracket. I think it adds some to the build.. :roll:

I love those old tear drop sprockets.

I like the creativity but do you think that will be flexy?

Yep. I'm going to have to stick another bar on the back and it should firm it up. I was hoping that just the two would do. Oh well I''ll stick another one on tomorrow and if it looks too bad or its still flexing then I'll cut it off and start with something else less cutsie.

 

[stretch]

sweet! was it painful drilling it out?

 

[Uncle Stretch]

Naw got a fab guy with a plazma cutter.....didn't feel a thing :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[stretch]

smart move. :lol:

 

[Uncle Stretch]

Ok that didnt turn out like I wanted ,so a couple zips with my porta bandsaw and we are back to a clean slate. :wink: See more tomorrow
Wasnt my style anyway.

 

[Uncle Stretch]

Ok a more simplistic design.

 

[bikeriderx]

Awwwww!! That was about the coolest thing I'd seen!

 

[Uncle Stretch]

Hey thanks , but when I build ,sometimes things work and then sometimes they dont. If I could have got it to work with just the two bars I would have kept it just because it was unusual. By having to add another and still not knowing for sure if it would stabilize it ,wasnt worth it. Kinda cool though. :wink:

 

[karfer67]

maybe an old solid skip sprocket. then have tubes going to it that are sloted on the ends that the sprocket sits in then weld it. because old skip sprockets are so much thicker than new bikes i think it would be fine

 

[Uncle Stretch]

Karfer its hard to find a skiptooth one that has alot of meat. They made them thick and then cut a bunch of things out of them. That was the only one I had that I could cut out they center,and it wound up too flexible. If I had done a spyder web around it then it would have been fine, but it really wouldnt go with the style of this frame. At least its an idea that maybe someone can use on their build.

 

[zoso]

need to laser/water jet a custom thick one that just looks like a sprocket maybe.

 

[Decedent]

Hey U.S.,I am seriously diggin' that BB idea.What's the best way to smooth out all the welds to make them look super clean? Lookin' forward to the finished product.
