I'm in! 2016 Build-Off Just for Fun

[owend]

I do have a T.S.C. near me Doc. Since this bike will be ridden on grass, need to find something with a little bit of traction.

 

[buckeye]

All my bikes are ridden on grass..:wink:

 

[Dr. Shop Teacher]

All my bikes are ridden on grass..:wink:

Of course, all of yours are ridden on "grass." It's the only way you'd ever "hallucinate" that you actually built a bike.imp:

 

[owend]

That's not legal here:laugh:

 

[buckeye]

What your yard is just dirt?

 

[owend]

What your yard is just dirt?

No my yard is not just dirt Buck, but my neighbors field has some bald spots from riding!

 

[owend]

Took a picture of how the dual rear brake will work. My friend Mike helped me out with making the parts after I showed him what I was trying to do. I will need a better return spring and some new tires!

 

[owend]

I still need to match the fender curve to the tire, wish I had an English Wheel! I bet some heat with a tie down will work?

 

[Von Zipper]

I have an english wheel and a planishing hammer. I have found the hammer to be way more useful. If you're planning your next purchase, you might see if that would be a better choice.

 

[owend]

I wish I had an English Wheel Von! I used a tie down and a rubber hammer to shape the fender to get the curve I wanted, still not sure? Three other bikes that I'm working on in my spare time doesn't help either:laugh:

 

[buckeye]

Old Amish trick, tie down and rubber hammer..

Looks great Owen!

 

[OND]

Looking good owend.

 

[owend]

Thanks guys! That's the best I could do with what I had to reshape the fenders:laugh: Buckeye, really the Amish again:wink:

 

[owend]

Wow, back at it! Working on three bikes by myself is a bit much. Just painted the fenders in the Plum Crazy Purple, sorry Prince fans:laugh: Hard to see from the picture, they look great and no bugs in the paint for once! Still need to get the frame done this weekend weather and wife depending. Seat looks decent and it will work for now. Waiting on some the grips and other parts to come in. Is OldMiniBikes out of the Tecumseh minibike throttle set ups? I need a few of them and they seem to be out of stock.

 

[owend]

Will take better pictures in the daylight.. look to crappy and Blue.

 

[buckeye]

Very cool.

 

[1stBxMopar]

[owend]

Dropped the frame off to get stripped today, back on Thursday. If it stops raining after I get out of work, I'll get it painted on Friday? And then the motor still needs paint:doah:

 

[OND]

Still plenty of time left owend, :thumbsup: You got this !

 

[owend]

Still plenty of time left owend, :thumbsup: You got this !

God knows i'm trying! Still waiting on a few parts to get here, where are they? I got the frame back today and it will be painted tomorrow.
