i think i spent a total of 99 cents on the paint lol ill post pics of he frame once i dig it out
Sean

ok here is what i got so far
first off my frame thats bee build and built numerous times so what better deserving frame then one thats been thru alot of builds
my 1969 amf flying wedge frame
as i said it was spraybombed but not recently bike was a freebie and paint was i think 99 cents but i did use most of the paint on my boat so technically it was leftover and 00 cents on htis build is this gonna be ok?
next up my parts i have as of right now mini apes from a huffy seat and post original post from the wedge seat is off a 1970 huffy
front wheel is 18 inch sting ray ghostrider bike rear wheel is off next turbo/rhino bike20 inch
crankset is from a mongoose hoop d front forks i have 2 im considering my first choice is the original flying wedge forks but i seem to recall these had an internal issue so i have these huffy atb forks from a 26 inch wheel bike im including as my second choice. chain is from another bike cant recall exactly
i might have more as i dig thru my parts but heres my starting point providing my frame choice is accepted
i also might be using one of these white tires in te pic sorry my pics re gritty i'll get better ones

heya troy
that bike looks sweet perfect beginning
this is gonna be awesome
i have been wanting to do something with that wedge as well its been built and rebuilt so many times its time to give it a permanent buildup
gonna be fun
i get off work at 10 am tomorrow so i will probably begin cleaning re greasing ect.
oh and btw that speedo is a no go i broke the cable by accident when i was cleaning my shed
so i could mount it but it won't be functional so im just gonna nix it
good luck troy and thanks this is something i been wanting to try for awhile win or lose it will still be fun
will post pics of my progress as i go along

ok here is what i got as of right now
the originsl forks were no good so i went with my second choice which was these grey atb forks
my wife had to swap the front axle with another axle form a junk wheel ( pics posted soon) due to the original axle being too thick and cracked
so now that i got the front wheel sorted and the forks working i have a rough idea of what its gonna look like
the front wheel needs to be trued a bit and i still have to get the drivetrain up and working so this is far from done but this is generally what im gonna go with
so now im gonna call it a day for now
next step is cleaning and greasing bearings ect and testing the fenders for fitting.
also will take better pics as this ones a tad gritty

Hi Sean,
so hear it is how I think I'm going Board tracker look with a set back seat post cut from a snail bar saw someone do this on the forums can't remember who though :!:
the neck is cool on this thing! only one bolt for the stem and bars :lol:
the seat on it was only repairable if I bought rivits so new old seat!
back to cleaning and greasing
