It might be awhile before he updates. Threading his stearer tube is quite a project.

Your threading job sounds brutal, but when you're done, it will be so cool

How's it coming along Pick? You need to borrow my Zilla Monster? He works for bike parts.

Steerer tube threading is finally finished! Over 4 hours total twisting & turning, but finally there.
Note to self: Never, Ever use a triple tree fork again that does not come apart! :mrgreen:
Will post some pics when I really have something to show. This build is moving @ a snail's pace so far!

These bikes are always about lessons learned. Thanks for sharing yours. And if it was easy, everybody would do it :lol:
Snail's pace is still forward

Re: POCO RATA "Little Rat"
I'll make a note of that. Speaking of a triple tree I have one at nbw that I want to pick up this weekend and put on the new bike that i have. Whatever bike it fits on gets it.

Re: POCO RATA "Little Rat"
Finally got a little done today. Spent some time with the air angle grinder bringin it down to bare metal. Still have a ways to go. I've already spent more time on this frame than I did on Bad Apple & this one isn't even gettin painted. Hope to show more progress in the nxt few days.
Frame after some grinding:
This is the future rat rodder I am building it for (grandson). Dang, he's almost as good lookin as his grandpa! :lol:
"One small step for Pick, One giant step for mankind! :mrgreen:

Re: POCO RATA "Little Rat"
Thanks Randy! So far I'm not liking the 2x4 forks & kick stand though! :lol:
Circa: That is just what's left of a cannibalized exerciser, Are you needing something off of one? If so, LMK.
Thanks for lookin guys!
