Well, I broke one of my own rules for this 1 day build. I had to go buy a chain today. Actually I had to buy 2 of them, it was so long a standard chain was about 6 links to short, but it is on. I even rode it just to make sure it would go straight.

. I want to thank to people who have responded with the cool comments. I really had a blast doing this, and it did clean up some room in the garage. I took an old frame to the powdercoat guys today to get it sand-blasted, since I have more room for it now. John.

OKAY, so it really didn't take me all day, more like about 6 hours. But most of that time was sorting through stuff and laying it out to see what was going to work. Then, when I decided to clean and re-grease the hubs.....and dropping everything out of the rear hub. I spent about an hour trying to find where all the pieces bounced when they hit the floor. Also having a 14 year old daughter to shuffle around to the mall took time. The 6 hour bike just didn't sound right. I think I might do another one this weekend! John.

Nice. Wish I had ebough parts lying around to be able to throw something that sweet together in short order... Nice work.

Thanks for the comment. During the winter months, I find myself at alot of auctions and such. It is amazing what you can find out there. John.

not too shabby for just one day! you bet get your shots up to date before you sit in that seat.

The weird thing about this build, now that it is a bike, I really enjoy riding this one. All my previous projects have had a different feel to them, and not really rideable, but this one rides really nice. The most surprising thing is the seat is really comfortable, and it has a coat of sealer on it so I don't need to update my shots!
