Hooch,
That's some nice work brother! Especially where the original frame meets the stretch, cool use of the display stand too, perfect curve.
Strong looking welds, yet just 'ratty' enough.

Nice work. The adjustable seat is a great idea.

 

[Hooch]

Thanks. I am still thinking of the paint I will use and these forks seem to be twisted and I don't know about the handle bars. So lots more to do

 

[buzzy]

sick!!!!!!!

I might have to steal that idea for the adjustable seat post! One of those "why didn't i think of that"

 

[Hooch]

[Hooch]

more ideas to come!

Love the paint. It has a nice patina look to it. How about a close up and some info on how you got that look.

Wow...the paint is really cool!

Now all you need is a 24" Nexus out back with a 24" x 3" Fatti-O.

I had planned to put this Sturmey on but the brake sucks so I need to rebuild it and I am sick of trying to make the big tires fit so I dunno

its just layers of fogging a flat burgundy and flat black . I will get closeups when I am finished

I will be doing a creme colored insert in the tank so I can get it lettered
I have 2 shows next month and I want this ready for that

The cleanup work on the welding is absolutely top notch. I'm digging this build hard!

The cleanup work on the welding is absolutely top notch. . . .

Thanks for pointing this out. Had that point not been made, a non-welder like myself probably wouldn't have looked at that aspect very closely. Now that I've gone back and looked at all the close ups I can appreciate the work even more. Very nice indeed, Hooch!

yea my guy is a great welder. I told him yea I can weld but by the time I buy all the tools and become half as good as him I would have to stretch 400 bikes . so its money well spent paying him

I put a couple miles on it tonight, a gear change is in order and add 4 inches to the handlebars should help
