SkyHawk Aluminum Bike Frame GT2-A Build

[Rogan]

Oh so much to do

Welcome to the forum Rogan, glad you joined us.

It is a lot to do but in the end, it will be well worth it. Keep us updated on your progress.

Welcome to theforum. Like Dave said the work is worth it. Any plans yet on what you plan on putting in there?

 

[Rogan]

Thanks for the welcome

Not sure which engine yet. I have a 60 and an 80.

Time for paint while the wheels get built (Disc up front and drum in the back).

Decided to sand with green pads and clean with acetone. I hope that works.

That color is awesome. What's the name of it ?

 

[Rogan]

It's called "Hammered Copper"

Had to work all weekend so only just got back to painting the frame

 

[Velodrome]

WOW! That looks good! I'd love some pics in daylight but I see your in Chicago and its January.

 

[Rogan]

Still waiting on my wheels

Oh well it has been kinda wintery here



Where do you guys get those cool seat posts that position one back a few inches?

mmmm.... after some reading I might have to make one

 

[Noahdanield]

Are the gt2a frames any good?

 

[GearNut]

The frame itself is great, as of recent though folks have been reporting that the welded on front engine mounts are welded on a little crooked though.

 

[tooljunkie]

looks great,like the paint scheme.
motor looks tiny in that frame,needs more stuff.

Has anyone tried this as a lowrider? I wonder how it would work with fenders as well. And does anyone know if it takes a special crank? I'm pretty new at this.

Finally the back wheel arrived!

and now I am waiting on the front

 

[GearNut]

It looks great! I really like the big white tire. Who makes it?

 

[runnermike]

[Rogan]

The tires are Schwalbe Fat Franks

soon runnermike soon...

I tried cutting some 1 inch metal pipe to make a seat post. Not sure I like the angles, so I might try again tomorrow

 

[runnermike]

Not shabby Rogan...looking good! Lemme know how it turns out.

 

[Rogan]

I think I am happy enough with it...

 

[runnermike]

I like. Looks good!
