33. Sneak Preview... Bike is Rolling!

[admin]

G'day all,
Here are the pics Dad sent me yesterday. Probably not the best shots so hope Dad doesn't mind me posting them, but I know a few of you are hanging out to see these almost as much as I was!

If you notice the seat looking a little odd, don't worry it's not covered properly yet. Still has a bit of work to be done, but it is starting to look like a bike again!









Me like! Hope you like the pics too.

thats the fun part putting all those shiny bits back on, looks spot on.

Front mudguard mounts made today from stainless and polished. Mudguard mounted. Will have a couple of pics on Sunday night.

Rear guard WAS mounted and tailght wired in but had to make some more clearance for the chain guard and guard now needs a repaint. Not such a bad idea anyway as there were quite a few pits that the painter missed.

That bike stand by the way is made from scrap I had around. Really strong. I pinched the 12 ton jack from my pipe bender. Bike is held by a vertical stand at the front that has an adjustable bar that clamps to forks. Nice and steady.

Looks great

A couple more pics... upholstery is just sitting on seat at present...







Nest I will put up some posts on doing the mudguard stays, front wheel hub covers and some before and afters of the handle bar controls...
