Hey there guys. I haven’t been able to follow the Pedal Grinders much ‘cause of fatherhood, but I found time to chop the fat man build (remember?) and build a bike with more curves than I'm used to. I took influence of some of the outstanding builds on the RatRodBike's buildin' contest. Thanks a lot everyone.
I leave you with some sequence shots and I’ll comeback as soon as possible.
Keep rollin’

Hey there. It does, yes, like a regular springer. The whole frame of the fork wiggles. I painted the rims primer also. It's my best bike so far. I'll post some pics soon. Keep rollin'

Looks good.
The only caution that I can see is that those studs on the tank have the potential to catch your leg while riding. OUCH.

What do you mean? Gettin caught between the studs and the fork? No way, the bike might not seem long but it is. My leg wont get that far.. Quick update: Paited rims and just two bolts on the wooden tank
I'm waiting for the handlebars end caps and pedals.
Keep rollin'

Hey there. This bike got lower. I changed the fork’s tube and bracket arrangement.
Now I have to keep the pedals horizontally leveled while turning, but I love it’s stance. Keep rollin’.
