3rd bike...1st custom build
- Thread starter runnermike
- Start date
Well, parts and pieces are rolling in. Still waiting on wheels and tires to show up. Only thing to make a decision on is the motor...do I get the street racer from arrow or buy a skyhawk engine and parts from arrow and do it myself?? I would rather bolt on and go..... I have and older engine laying around I can tinker with so I learn more about these engines and the ins and outs of fixing and replacing components.
I will post pics as soon as I can find my phone!! Lol

Does anyone know if this BB will fit this frame?

I'm clueless when it comes to this stuff. This is my first custom build. Would the wide crank sets that many vendors sell work? Any advice is appreciated!

Just thought I'd put up a pic of a quick mock up. Bike is starting to come together. Taking it to get powder coated tomorrow.
Just waiting on rear wheel to show up Wednesday, then hopefully I will have a rolling chassis! Keep fingers crossed. Lol
Waiting is the hardest part of these builds....not the endless and frustrating hours figuring things out, but the waiting! Lol
Gone through and checked out all your pics! It is really coming along!!! Definitely post a final pic!!! And for a "newbie" your doing a great job and especially looking into your build and doing your research!!!
I'm literally at my wits end with this bike! My BB doesn't fit...I tried, my LBS tried...ugh! I hope the third BB will fit?!?! The rear drive sprocket hits the frame. I should've just went with a top hat and sprocket from kings in the first place. Just seems like every choice I make, even after researching, is the wrong one.
I know in the end it will all work out. I kind of expected this being its my first custom build. I just wanna ride and be free!

Sorry to hear of your frustrations. :-\, this converts that BB hole to a regular threaded http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000VT550K/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1359608033&sr=8-1&pi=SL75
