I've actually found that my seat post is too thin for the clamp on the seat, does anyone have any ideas?
Also do 26 x 1.75 rims look right? I found some that are pretty cheap brand new.
Looking great!Here’s my x1 current state
Thank you! Have any related parts left?Looking great!
Thank you! By anychance do you have any things you made left?Looking great!
Yep. You and I were some of the original folks on this thread from a decade ago. The thread was a lot more active back then and it seemed like there were about five or six of us building bikes at the same time, sharing ideas and info about build specifics. That was a fun time.I had to build this bike the hard way, everything on it is hand made, there isn't any 3d printed parts on it, the mud flaps were molded and cast.
Yes, I have a partial sheet of red plexiglass that was used for the fin on the saddlebags but that’s about it. You can have it for free, just cover shipping. DM me your address and I’ll get a postal quote.Thank you! By anychance do you have any things you made left?
I’m hurt, i was just told my bike parts are being shipped here soon as I found out about him passing all at the same timeOh boy, this one hurts .. RIP
Looks like You gotta Good start , but that's just the tip of the ice berg, Good Luck with your build , it's fun , challenging and daunting at times, but well worth the headache if you can get 'er Done.Well, here we go! Here’s what I’m starting with..found a DX with springer, sprocket and seat I can use. May use the wheels too (figure I can paint the hubs silver and it’s covered by the wheel Discs mostly anyway ) got pedals for $1 at the swap..and a pair of Murray cruiser wheels with Lightning Darts for $40..all I need now is everything else!
