Construction of the wheelie bars is done, now it's on to clean up, body work and paint.
Tacking up the left and right side bars for final welding,
Close up of the bends to clear the derailleur,
To make the crossbar/ axles, I used allen bolts and ground the heads to fit the inside of the tubing, then cut notches to weld them in place,
After some grinding I put the caster mounts on, I decided against welding them to the crossbar in case I ever need to remove the wheels,
The completed construction of the bars,
Now to start grinding and sanding.
