Thanks Guys! Working on my punchlist...
1. Paint
2. Tires & Rims
3. Handlebars and wrap
4. Seat
5. Light

Wish I could swing a Monark style fork... but before I can even do #1 I have to finish stripping the frame and grind off all the cable stays...o_O

Two things I love waiting for...
Paint to dry, and parts in the mail.
Meanwhile, designs fly around in my head...

Edit: While I'm waiting... Anybody got the math to figure out a cone (wheel disc)?
Google here I come... I want to layout the cone flat. There's gotta be a formula...

No more pics for now but things are rollin'... Got my tires and crank, fabbing copper truss rods for the longer fork. I need to find me a motocycle style light soon. I want to curve my truss rods around it. I still need to find a 700c rim with a coaster cuz I'm not going fixie and I cut the mounts for the brake arms off the frame already in prep for paint, hehe... Yeah I cut all the cable tabs off the frame too, she's lean and clean. Did anybody catch the glass part of the arch with antifreeze in it? It's so sic on the bike! I have a little detail using a green Mickey's big mouth bottle under wraps and I'm still dreaming of the rear wheel disk...
( :eek: for a wheel I don't have yet ) but we still got a month to go...

Sprayed a can of flat rat black on mine today...

I preheated my basement some with a space heater. I also warmed the can in some hot water, flowed on nice, AND it was a black bike to begin with. ;) I also wet sanded it everywhere that I didn't already work on when I stripped the cable stays off.

Carl < Is on schedule...:dance2:

Edit: Yep. I'm recycling posts from another thread...
