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.
Powder Keg:
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)

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~
