Yet another boardtracker

[boro]

Hi there!
I've decided to make a new project during my winter holidays. This time I've gone for a classic boardtracker look inspired by old harley Davidson and Indian motorcycles.
So first I've printed a template.. and my cat approved it

Bent some tubes

Got a donor for headtube, bb and dropouts

Mount the jig

Check that everything is straight

And add the bb and the straight bar

Double check

And make a suicide shifter for 8 speed hub

And there will be more pics later

Nice work!

Wow, great start. I really like your jig, is there a plan set for it available? That fork looks perfect for the antique look of the project. Always great to see another scratch built project

Great lines on that frame. The stance is mean and cool. Great job.

The jig is this one: http://www.flatpackfoundry.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=20&product_id=50
As far as I know the design is not open source.
There will go another fork. I'm thinking about double springer monarch style fork.

I think that jig was on Kickstarter a couple of years ago.

Wait, you're not using that fork? I like that one on there.

Yeah this jig was on kickstarter.
This fork is from another bicycle. I've just "borrowed" to check the geometry.

There's a lot of those reproduction Monarch forks around, I think the coolest fork should go on the coolest bike (just my $0.02)

I think the same way. [emoji12] for now my rat rod is the coolest build. I ll have to check how it will suit the new frame and the old one. Maybe I'll swap them.

You nailed it mate, like the pedal crank set up
adds a nice balance to the frame.

The build slowed down a bit but now it's almost there!
