Yeah where is Jake these days ?

Jake still hasn't come out of Ninja mode yet. But he knows it's Get Ta Buildin time.

 

[sandman]

He might be getting all his sandwiches made before his build , that way he will not have any interruptions ?

Have you gave thought to color on this beast yet, or did I miss it?

No real thought at all to color or finish. Way too early for that. I need to figure out what's going on or not first.

He's still having fun with his modeling on IG, but with scaled cars added in the mix now. I don't think he has a bike lined up yet, but I'm sure he'll be here.

Tape measure, packing tape, silver metallic tape, pedals, etc. Whatever it takes to hold things in there approximate location to visualize if the idea is worthy or not. Some things never change.

Where’s the duct tape? Hahahahaha!

It’s funny to see people’s different approaches on builds. Color is usually on or lnear the top of my list, sometimes even before frame/brand.

My frame is still in the mail and I'm already picking out colors and ordering parts

 

[kingfish254]

This arrived while I was boxing up the Stimulus Package, so I had some fun mockups trying to figure it out when I got home.

The width is about perfect. Plenty strong. The bottom piece is longer than I will need, but it gives me plenty to play with.

My plan is to have the top piece horizontal. So I plan to curve the lower section to match the curve of the frame. I'll probably also shorten the lower section to allow the seat mount to be farther back.

First pass of mocks I just let it sit at an angle

Before trying out some other bars, I took one pic with the clubman bars flipped.

Then I found the mega moon bars that I got from the ladies JetFlow part out.

 

[kingfish254]

I'm not feeling the mega moons with this build, But here are the mockups with the nanner,

 

[Psychographic]

JMO, I like the drop bars much better. The forks, wheels and frame scream race bike to me, hence the low bars.

 

[kingfish254]

More seat and bar mockups to come later tonight. Queenfish and I are about to go out to eat in a sit down restaurant. We've been able to do this in Georgia for 2 or 3 weeks now and try to get out and support the local business and workers as much as we can.

2 months here no eating out,wife really wants a date night.

I'm all caught up on this thread. Although I'm partial to banana seats, something about that RUFF saddle worked for me. Definitely like the drop bars the best too. Looking forward to more mock ups. This is my first RRBO, and I've never done as many mock-ups as I have with this build. Lots of fun. I imagine it must be similar to what women experience when they go shopping and try on clothes for hours.
