(MBBO#05 CLASS 2) - Sassy - Finished - Round 2.5, riding strong!

[OddJob]

Not sure if i like it yet. Might wait a couple days sand and try it again..


Cut a couple notches off the sissy bar. Wrapped the ends to be nice to the paint.

This pic, looks like a 20" Proportioned bike to me...

It does look good white!

Something about the seat doesn't (wait for it...) sit right with me. *ouch*
Not sure if it's the size, position, or color. With the length of this bike, it seems like a longer seat would give it better proportion. Thoughts?

Hehe, it is a short seat. Was thinking the large tires and long frame would match with it, it is comfortable for a banana... maybe not so much. Will have to check the shed, might have something different.

Have u tried a lay back to get it over the rear... I do like kids bananas over the wide panned longer ones..
*Ooops... obligatory great build going on... Just enjoying reading along your build... cheers

I have pulled a bent post to the side to plan some cuts on it to get it to the correct centered spot. I hope 3-5 inches back and the smaller seat will look right as rain...

Decided not to repaint it white and try a gold or copper sparkle. Have one hot spot of nickel, will see how many others see it. I am more skeptical, or so i am told...


Pressed in the bottom bracket bearings and installed the crank. A few of us on here have these...



Found the left crank hits frame. Working on a solution... right side chain line is fine.



Pure whited a chainring and arm.

Hoping they look good with the sparkle. So far so good.


Added an aluminum neck recently sanded, painted flat white and glazed to match.


Darker now, done for tonight.

Rigjt crank and brake bracket on the immediate list of things todo next...

Liking the 'white out' of the ring, crank, stem, brake mount! And your set back idea on the seat sounds good. Seat color...?....grips...?

Great candidate for one of these 22 inch nanners. These look great on a big bike.

Killer bike though with whatever seat. Interested to see how the shorty looks farther back.

Love that the proportions are just like a 20" with those fat tires!
Need a pic with you in it to really see the size though!

OJ, thanks, i wasnt sire if i would like it whited out, but thinking it looks good as well. Derailer will also be painted.

Was thinking on color, so far I am having a hard time deciding. I like the yellow, but also Have a few leather prints. The white and silver, or the snakeskin might be candidates, not liking the brown . All will need a bit of stitching to fit.

Thanks Chad, I like that slim seat! I think it would look good. I am trying to find the funds for some remaining components... .. with the shortened duration if the build off, having to scrap a few ideas, budget with time availabilty issues this year.

I like the yellow nanner & grips.

[metalchewy]

Tied the chain in with a strap of leather.



Derailer reaches just right, full pull to first. Still says deore XT

Brrr someone feel a draft?


Clearance is tight, have to adjust the foot a little.

 

[OddJob]

I like the fit! Looks like it will stretch you out just right.

Found an old pic from 2014, about the time i picked up this frame.



Forks went.on the Valiant, seat to DoubleBar Denim, rear wheel and Fender to Torrid.

Now frame, forks and neck to Sassy... all thats left unused is that pretty pink front wheel.

 

[metalchewy]

Got the cutiff wheel out and prepared the right crank and started a few pieces of stainless.




Neighbor said he can easily join the to to make that crank dogleg out with his old Miller. Will let him, i don't have anything to weld this thickness...

 

[metalchewy]

Went over to my neighbors last night. He welded it up well.



Looks like i clamped it about 3 degrees advanced... it will work!

[metalchewy]

taped off and painted the top cover on the 10s trigger shift.

 

[metalchewy]

Matches.

 

[LukeTheJoker]

Nice work!
Can you still get the nut on the widened crank? Did you drill out inside to allow it room?

Luke.
