Default Tortuga tracker runs now!

Board tracker project runs now. After I ride it for a couple of days it will get torn down for paint. I rode to work this morning 7 miles one way. Plans for my next one are in place.

Awesome build, cant wait to see it all painted up. I really like those tires, I'd get some tires like that but my chain occasionally smacks the sidwall on my whitewalls and leaves marks. Nice build though, keep up the good work

I really like how close the down tube is to the front tire. Great job on the bike frame.
What materials did you use for the forks/ handle bars/frame? and how did you bend them?

Thanks h0tr0d. All metal is 16g mild steel w/different diameters. Bends are by body weight & hand. No heat on bends. Wire feed welder. Tank is 24g & is tig & mig welded.
