Been Around the Block
Hi! Started new project a few of weeks ago.
The bike was darn ugly when it arrived to my shop. I didn't even take a pic of it. Wennt straight to stripping it.
The engine is a full rebuilt. Needs to be run in. Both wheels relaced for 16" .
Going to be a hard tail.
A bit of improvisation as the the build goes. We'll c.

Here is a short photo story of the build so far:

This is where I'm so far. It needs to be final welded and then still quite some work on details left :).

Tell me what you think guys.
 
This is how you build a hardtail. Mean, nasty, traditional. By hand. Even the Firestones fit the bill on this one.

If it were mine I'd call it "Middle Finger"

I can already see that the final product will be stunning.
 
Thank you all for the good word :D
I wasn't big fan of hard tails before but I think I really like it now.
Definitely not my last hardtail project :D
 
Have to say, that is some BEAUTIFUL welding. Great job, all around. Let's see it all finished up and in the sun!
 
Is this shop an old abandoned dungeon ??? Seems a good space for creative thought... ever hear silent screams in the welding helmet? :eek:
 
Just the short vid of the oil tank being made.
