Or move the background, LOL Looking at your build i think the yellow stay should be a little straighter, they seem to have a bit of a kink in them. Flow a bit better with the rest of the curve, just my thoughts.Loving it otherwise ...........CurtThanks Steve. I assumed that the gap was only an issue for me or if it was noticed by anyone else they weren't likely to mention it. This forum is full of constructive feedback, helpful instructions and encouragement from fellow builders which is why I like posting here. One of these days I should move the bike so there's not so much clutter in the background.
I'd be willing to bet that, once you paint the frame all one color, to any observer but you it will look like it was meant to be exactly that way. And it will look great to all of us here, I'm sure. And already, I can't wait to see the finished bike. This thing is looking pretty sweet now.Harold,
That's one of the things that the builder notices but other observers miss until it's mentioned. It does make the frame lines flow together better. A beautiful build and I enjoy watching it come together.
Steve.
You'll notice everything is right back where it was. Sometimes bravery is another word for foolish! Actually my wife is super accomidating of my hobby. She understands that it gets me out of my own head and just how important that is to me. So the clutter is still behind the bike in the photos but aside from moving junk around I tried to get back at finishing the fork. The previous build used this same fender with a skirt and it was always tough getting the wheel on and off. I was fortunate that I never flatted on the road because I have no idea how I would have changed the tire/tube without laying the bike down. There were a lot of bikes (mostly Brittish I think) that had a drop stand that was also a fender brace on the front. I like the idea so I've decided to try to make one for this build. This is making for more clean up but so far I'm happy.Harold, your wife is parking outside and winter is coming on. There's a fine line between bravery and tempting fate. I'd say your straddling it.
Steve.
