CAFE CREME - BOARD.....TRACKER

Getting a bit closer with the fuel cell. Only the first coat of primer and the plaques are only fitted temporarily.
Nobody makes a long velocity stack for the baby SU - solution, buy a stubby and resin on a Weber velocity stack ! Just needs cleaning up now.
Pattern for the lower shock mount - will be 5mm MS.
Ordered the RAL 6027 Celeste Blue today - matt celly finish.

Thanx Brodie, this and the Glemseck will probably be my last full blooded builds ...................... have to be right.
MT, if they had been metric I would have gone down that route ................. can't remember the last time I worked with Imperial threads !!
Using the cranks also gives me scope to place the pedals where I need them.

Nice score there beachy
Now you see it - now you don't. First stage in converting the BMX crank set into mountings for the Phantom Edoardo Bianchi pedals.
In the end quite straightforward to remove the chainwheel set from the crank as it was just staked on. Ten minutes with the grinder and all done.

I had the weld bungs [ Rose joints ] turned down today to fit inside the rear frame tubes for the POC mock up.
Chain line is clear and everything lines up as I'd hoped. The top frame tube position isn't fixed yet, I had planned originally to place the top mountings at the rear of the top tube. I'll get the bottom rails finalised and then decide about the top.
Zip ties and masking tape ..... who needs a welder !!!!!

Found these little gems on Ebay - £15.00.
OEM tank badge and seat [ back ? ] emblem.
Not sure where the tank badge is going at the moment [ the seller only had one ], but the seat emblem will go on the back of my saddle. I was going to use the Lycett badges I have, but can't pass this up !!

The single tank badge [ originally side ] doesn't look right on top so i'll hold fire on that and see if I can get a second or even a pair to go on the tank sides.
Think I'm getting more obsessed with this "Phantom" idea ......... just found these on Italian Ebay for 25 euros.

Found this image on the Internet yesterday. I've resized it to fit a UK tax disc holder and I'm now playing with adding the Edoardo Bianchi text. Now I've found this one I'm looking for a 1920's or earlier version.
Bianci seat badge has found a home ! I'll cut the original excess material off where it was simply cut out from a damaged seat.
