Owen's "Pile Of Parts" Vintage Class Build

[owend]

I originally wasn't going to do this and I am now entering in the mix! The bike I am building will be given to my 9 year old nephew when its done. I am pretty sure it was made in Taiwan, so a few small modifications won't make me feel too bad. I still need to figure out what tires to run,colors and what to name it and some other odds and ends. Wish me luck, I'll need it!!!! Owen

The more that I look at the handlebars and the uber crappy weld job, the more I want to get rid of them.

More Work

Finally got some work done over the weekend! Removed the handlebars,changing the style of bars anyways. Had to weld two holes in the bottom part of a fork tube now it needs to be smoothed out. Made up a chain adjuster, just not sure if it is going to work out. Last but not least, cut off the old sprocket and welded on a new one and it also needs some cleaning up. I will get some more work done next week hopefully! Owen

Am I missing why this thread isn't titled under your own heading?

 

[owend]

Not much to report on today. Mocked up the exhaust,chain alignment and checked to see id the caps will cover the holes in the fork tubes. Try again tomorrow. Owen

 

[owend]

Thank God for clamps ! Put on the fenders and bars to see how they look.

 

[Stangrcr1]

I like with fenders. :thumbsup:

 

[buckeye]
