So little update. A slight set back with the stem.Gone to put it together today, so I could check the handle bar length and it doesn't fit :lol: It's too wide for the steering tube.I Should have checked before painting, but eh, my fault, It happens.Good news though! I have got the original one which came on this frame anyway.I had used it on another bike, but can just swap them over.Not much of a change but here is it.Just need to paint it up..... again :| I like the shape of this one anyway.

I'll give it a sand down tomorrow.

Yeah, It's a nicer stem than the one I had planned to use. It has a real nice shape to it and it's shorter too, which means the bars will sit lower down. It was ment to be

Been doing some sanding on the stem tonight for painting real soon and getting the handle bars ready for cutting.

Re: ====~THE FAIRBANK FLYER~====

So the crank has now had the textured paint on and about three coats of matt black.It's now dry, so that's ready for rusting paint!

Sanded down the stem yesterday and put some textured paint on today.So that should be dry now too.I'll get some black on that asap.

The handle bars have been cut to the new length! 7 Inches off! Much nicer now 8) More like a boardtracker.They have already had a sand,
so they are ready for painting up too.

and I cut a couple of little extension piece out of some fender struts for the bottom of the truss rods, which I just need to put a couple of extra holes in.

Update time.The head badge has been made by JesusJonz and is on it's way! It looks awesome! Pictures when it arrives.

The past two days it's been raining lots, so i've been in and out trying to paint in patches of dry weather and under a big table umbrella

I've been painting up the the handle bars.

Two coats of textured paint.

and a couple of coats of the matt black.

Dry and ready for paint rusting.

The stem has had a couple of coats of matt black.

Stem and crank being rust painted at the moment.Just put some stain on, so it's drying.
