, 12 days in only ...
heck i might be abble to ride the thing before it gets cold and snowy
That's ^ my attitude in these Fall build-offs....get it built to enjoy it before the cold and snow set in! I'm really liking your finishing touches on the frame construction and design. RaT oN!
Thanks bud , Yeah
Just caught up with you superb metalwork.
I think I got my dose of Vitamin C as in COOL for the week.
Excellent work and design!

Beautiful design and implementation of your fork / bars. Trying to come up with a name for that....we have the 'spork' - spoon / fork combo...

I suppose we could go with 'bark' or 'fobar'....as long as it didn't get confused with 'fubar'.....

I can't imagine those loooong winters anymore...I lived in Pennsylvania Maine and Nantucket most my life...so I know..He!!, I lived in Charleston S.C. before Florida, and it was still too cold there.....lol..
Canada...beautiful country...too much winter, but expected and accepted
Australia.., I can't figure that country .guess you gotta get up there near Darwin to wear shorts in winter....

I bent the bars (but not welded yet)

pretty similar

, but i do hate cold
That's a Wild Thang'
the bars are a little low, but you know..to each....
I was wondering what kind of 'jig' you used to keep it straight
had to back up and check it out.
cool job, you got that front to rear frame and then just drop everything in....you're movin...looks almost done...
I only did one little weld today on mine, gonna have to come up with something, no uniframe like yours, just cut up parts.
Seems like...it's a bit harder to keep these little guys straight then building a longer bike....

yeah i know , i should have made it taller , i think iam gonna be cramped with these
no jig was used , just planing/eyeballing/tacks/ajust/weld what i did on the cargo bike is : welding the down tube and the seat tube using 2 wood peices , then welding the head tube by eye and playing with it till it hold straight, then weld the top tube ... weld the lower stays by eye to hold the wheel , playing with it till it hold straight and weld the top stays ..

Really fun build. Ur detail and finish prep is killer! you seem to meet asthetic and function in your design with a cool balance. I dont even grasp the seat post but the fit and finish is wow.
Thanks man! really apreciate the comment
the picture in my last post is from my previous frame build
on the current one i just made a stopper in the seat tube so the seat post cant fall inside /go to low inside the seat tube
the seat post is not welded in place yet , just a mock up , it will hold with plates between the frame tubes

Nice work as usual!
decided to finish the frame before welding the bars ,
ill have a better idea of what angle i want when i can sit on the bike.
here is the making of the top plate the holds the seatpost
welding the 2 halfs togetter over the post
Tacked in place
15*angle also fitted it on the bike to make sure the BB would be straight
welded the post to the plate...and stopped there
here is what cutting/sanding the plates produced in dust and how dirty i ended .. some day ill get my self a plasma torch
