Very nice!!

I miss my garage and work space
I had a table like that but now there´s no room for it...now I work in the roof, that means I have to bring up all the tools, including the welder that weights... well you all know how much a welder weight. Not good for my back :roll:

that looks like it's gona be some down hill fun.

Thanks Skuldady!!Im slowly chipping away on this one...Im trying to fit in a hour here and there when I can but it seems like I stand there looking at it with the wheels in my brain turning more than actually building!I gotta little done today,Cleaned up the tubing and made a gusset for the front.....

 

[skulldady]

It's looken good. I can relate to the slowly chipping away part for sure.

 

[skulldady]

Got some werk done on the deck today

gota make some role on grip tape, I think this should werk

 

[FatBoy]

Your art work looks damn good!!!Cant wait to see it all together 8) :mrgreen:

 

[Gdcast]

great work guys, keep building!

 

[skulldady]

Okay I changed the rear wheel, I'm not sure I like it, but if I do keep it like this I will fit it in there nice and snug

I really need some opinions on this one, cause I like the idea of it, I'm just not sure if I like the way it's gona look/ride

 

[KOTA]

Skulldady, it should handle fine. As far as "resistance", coasting, the higher the air pressure in the tires and quality bearings, the EASIER it is to kick. I can really notice the difference on some of mine, one has 65lbs pressure and another has 90lbs. ...BUT! If you're only going to use it around the neighborhood (one mile, give or take), don't worry about it. If your going to use it on grass, dirt or gravel roads it will be PERFECT. :wink:...Oh! Looks COOL!

 

[FatBoy]

Skulldady,I like it..Puts your deck height nice and low to! :mrgreen: 8)

 

[Gdcast]

Looks awesome man! Love that disc brake and how it fits in there.

 

[jackdaw]

skulldaddy, I think it rocks. I really like the scooters on here, what a lot of fun! And a cool MTB scoot too! Gettin' sideways downhill in the dirt!!

 

[skulldady]

So I stole some more time this week, here and there. Got me some welding done

First I got the new rear wheel to fit a little more snug.

And fer some strength. Had to try and make it look cool too.

sorry about the ugly welds, I figure it'll have some character

I'll be putten a fender over the wheel soon, any ideas on weather it should be a shortie, or full, or half, ect.

 

[FatBoy]

I like your skills,Man this thing is looking good! For the fender Im thinking shorty...but it looks cool the way it is 8) :mrgreen:

 

[Gdcast]

Ugly welds???? Man compared to mine those are out of this world!
Love that little tire, I would leave it as it is, but if you really want a fender I would go with a short one too, and as that tire looks like a miniature speed bike, I would take inspiration from there.

FatBoy, this guy is gonna be hard to beat, right? :wink:

 

[skulldady]

So today I was able to get rid of the choppers long beach shaped dropouts

disk break? Why yes, thank you
