Re: The Victim

I vote for keeping the second tube...then Chuck can fabricate a cool tank sign for it.

Re: The Victim

I second the second tube :roll: :wink:
It will look even better when painted.

Keep up the great work.

Re: The Victim

Yeah Steve its going to stay.
I got the seat stays cut and tacked on.Need to build the dropouts and weld it all up.
Getting closer.
Thanks Skipton it almost has to be there. Would look like a regular bike without the
trademark tube.

Re: The Victim

Had an old Schwinn blade fork. It drops the front down an inch or so and looks better.

Re: The Victim

Re: The Victim

Glad you do cause its yours. :lol: :lol: :lol:
If you didn't like it , you could always add it to the scrap pile. This stupid medicine they gave me has me a little
sleepy so the shop will close early till tomorrow. Hopefully I can get more done.

I liked this all along, but when you switched to the blade forks I loved it. Funny how one little change can make such a major impact.

Looks great Paul.

Re: The Victim

Yeah peatbog a 7'' stretch definitely changes the size of one

Thanks Oleskool

Yeah mike its coming right along. Nothing too fancy though. Just a simple stretch.

Yeah Skip it was too high in the front and I didn't want to raise the back and make it high to sit on.
I had that fork and tried it and it looked really good. Its shorter by a couple inches.

Complementary pic for this page

My brother said they look the same , but anybody can clearly see the worksman has black rims
and white tires. :shock: :shock:

Re: The Victim

Well got most of the frame welded and ground down. Still have to fill in the chain stay tubes and build the dropouts.
I did wire wheel the frame and got all the old red paint off. My new workbench top did fantastic. Just brush all the
old paint and grit into the trash. I should have done that a long time ago.

Re: The Victim

Awesome! Let me know when you start building my frame :lol: :lol:

 

[Uncle Stretch]

Re: The Victim

Thanks Schwinnray. I'm probably not going to stretch any built bikes for a while. May try something
like this one off of a german web site :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: Them crazy germans.

Re: The Victim

Looks like a Bassman got in an accident.

Your modified frame is looking good.

 

[Uncle Stretch]

Re: The Victim

Thanks Clancy.
Got the dropouts built and tacked on. At least now you can see how it will sit.

 

[user 135]

Re: The Victim

Your dropout design is getting better and better. Those flow well.

 

[Uncle Stretch]

Re: The Victim

Thanks I had to make them long because those tires are 26x 2.125 and if he decides to put bigger tires on it ,I don't
want him running out of dropout length. Also had to leave room in case he would want to run a nexus.
