(MBBO#04 Class II) Easy Spyder

I am going to double down on this one. I have another frame here that will work. Deadlines are good for me or I put things off for years

I found some cool parts in the junkyard today I need to use.

Nice start!

Love the butterfly bars.

Man I never get tired of looking at those bars.
Great start.

I had a brand new one of those about 1973'-74' wish I still had it.
Those are the correct bars for that bike.
I'm also looking for a set of those bars...

Awesome! So this is the one getting the re-raked headtube? That will be awesome with those bars on that frame!

Yes, I have a good friend that showed me the trick for a stealthy rake so I am going to follow his advice and try to make this one look period correct

The bars survived on the bike. It is the spider 500

I think I have that outfit here somewhere too

I grabbed some 304 stainless to use for these forks but it almost " fits. I am going to try using one of my jurassic tools to make a small adjustment here

Nice triple tree set up! Hope you can make it work with the stainless legs!

Luke.

I sorted out another fork design yesterday looking at an old Norton that is going on my El Guapo frame. That thing already weighs two tons. I have a friend who bought a bunch of very large tools in a Navy ship yard auction and it is about time I raided his shop

I just happen to have two of these little frames so I decided to make a mess of this one and just clean up the other one

This is going to be awesome! Those trees are rad!

 

[LukeTheJoker]

Forks are awesome! Loving the way you are stretching it and re-raking it at the same time, good thinking!

Luke.

Carl I am saving the other one brother. This one needed a lot of big hammer work to get it apart.
