My summer bike build

I finally got back to building today. Here's a picture. I just have the "drop loop tube" sitting there. I'm still trying to figure just how I want it to look. I really like this stand too. It really makes it nice for doing this kind of stuff....................

Now that's what I like to see... Someone trying to plan before they attack. My method is to get it done then go back take it apart and do it right... lol..

Here it is withe loop tacked in. I really like the way it looks. I'm going to go with a springer front and 26" tires and wheels. That should make my front tire clear the loop.

i like that "boy bar."

my Molotov project bike is really a girl's bike with a straight piece of tubing welded on very inexpertly. i'd like to take that tube off, see how the engine sits in the frame and then maybe get someone to properly put a top tube of some kind on it.

or maybe i'll leave off the top tube a la deacon and the sissy Schwinn :-) whatever i do, though, i can see that learning to weld is in my future.

Welding is pretty darn fun, and I would recommend everyone pick up a welder at least once in their life. The only bad part is getting hot bits of metal that burn through your shoe and sit on top of your foot, and then forget that the muffler you just welded is VERY HOT and just grab it like it was room temperature

I like it, that looks great. I might be wrong but it looks like your head tube is a bit too vertical. I would sugest maybe giving it another degree or two of rake. This will make your steering alot less twitchy and it will handle much better. Keep up the good work...Kelly
