If you notice the rules, it says, smaller or narrower front tire... You would still meet all 3...

COOL I can do that,I thought it had to be same or smaller wheel as well,yay back to all 3If you notice the rules, it says, smaller or narrower front tire...
Luke.
I was contemplating that,I have some checker plate that I may use for the shifter cover and can use a square piece for a backing plate for a shute,also thinking of a tow ring,I wasn't sure what direction I was headed but drag bike seems the go'I hear drilling in the background
guard taken back to bare metal,it is from a childs size raleigh Explorer from at a guess the 70's
]
as I am going for the drag bike look I will be drilling between the scallops and maybe along the leading edge

Looking good mate.
Am I imagining things or did I see that frame on Trade Me a while back?
I most likely won't be jumping in on this build off... but I have said that before and ended up entering. If I get elected to parliament... (yes I am a candidate in today's election for Northland and it's after 7pm now so I am allowed to mention it)... I won't have time to do a build, so it is highly likely that I WILL build something.

front end holes done
rear end holes done,for some reason they came out very uncircular so then angled like exhaust vents and may add these flange spacers that came from scooter clamps I was scraping

yer it was very long time ago,someone decided to buy it,he was way down wellington way and decided he didn't want it after making me run around to find a courier that would send it,"I will put the money in tonite"became two weeks and then"I don't want it now"Looking good mate.

Duddddeeee!!!! This is so freaking awesome! I'm really curious where you'll end up with this
thanx guys,havn't done much as I have a cold and still having to go to work really sux,but you do what you gotta do,have a few ideas up my sleeve,torn between what to paint and what to leave as I have a rusty front wheel and a nice chrome rear and hate mismatching stuff,may have to go with doing a patina look,maybe hammerite with patina over the top/who know's at this stage
cleaned up back wheel and painted front in matt black,cos the front was too rusty to bring back to chrome
going to be doing 6 days a week at work for the next month so knuckled down today parted the fork and used a striping disk to take back to bare metal
Oh yeah! That looks good!
Will it be staying raw or getting painted?
Luke.

well I am 50/50 on it,it came out good so maybe raw,just paint inside of fork crown and get some hex/allen bolts as I am going with drag race look,theres a store across the road from work that have hundreds of bolts and fastenings,will have to see what they have
