Very Nice fab work.I can see by the heat trail someone there knows how to TIG.Not a lot of stops and starts.Hope your wrapping your beads?Do you have crater control?
Very creative.
For the front end are you using round or square stock for the structure and wrapping it with sheet metal?
What's the deal with the shot of the drop-outs?
Pics kinda like the ones I take.
Are you gonna fab some pointy adjusters?
And the seat stay?
Is that a notch in it?
What are you gonna do there?
For the handle-bars are you gonna make your own?,or are you gonna make it look really cool with stock ones and flip them?
Again Very Nice work and Very creative! Kip.

hey kip thanks there but i cant take any credit on the welding, my bud that has the welder is the one doing all the welding im just helping and learning a lot in the process. the front end is actually all made out of 16 guage steel. its all custom eccept for the springer center post and spring. the rest of the bike is still in the workings there is still a bit of work to be done but i will keep u all posted on progress

He surely knows what he's doing,Pay Close attention.You can teach a monkey how to weld but you can't teach it how to fabricate!
He's certainly not a monkey!
Wow,Just 16ga and that round stock in front?I guess? Gonna be tough to keep straight!Keep the air hose handy.Good thing metal has a memory! Just hafta beat it into submission!
I'm Knoodling a girder build myself.not any time soon to many other irons in the fire.Different approach hopefully the same COOL outcome as yours!Kip.
