Wes: Fabulous craftsmanship, stunningly machined, and beautiful art - and swarf! - all in one post! :bow: :bow: :bow: The word "awesome" is over-used, especially in America, but it is definitely the only word that fits the bill right now. Can't wait to see the finished bike! |

Hi Wes, nice work. what are the specs on that tubing for the rear fork? |
| Divided he ad:
looking very good Wes :thumbup: As many have pretty much said, this is a hell of a project and is very enthralling :proj: :coffee: Don't know about the rest of you? But I'm putting all these pieces together in my head and trying to envision the final picture (can't help it) :med: Looking forward to the next part. Ralph. |

Pepe, The tube is 4340 chrome molly. It has about a .04" wall thickness. I think it's a little thin but a bike builder friend says that it's plenty:o) Tonight I started shaping the rear fork ends. I still need to go at them with a ball endmill but they are looking pretty good. More tomorrow:o) ~Wes~ |
| Powder Keg:
The rear fork ends are nearly done. I just need to shape them a little more. I made a couple buttons that I'll use as a guide to file them down to. They are the fat washers bolted to the ends. ~Wes~ |
