Hey Wes,

Looking good. Just a quick question though... on your rack, is the only means of support going to be the 2 rods to the front? You might want to consider, if you haven't already, to triangulate it. Add a support on each side (around where the boards are) heading down towards the rear axle. That way you can put more than a few ounces on it.

I have some 3/8" tube bent to fit underneath. But I just had another thought:o) Maybe some wood stays to match the top slats?

Wes,

I'm not sure where your bent 3/8 tubes are intended to go, but the carrier on my old bike has stays running down to bolts through the holes in each side of the frame, behind the axle slots.
The bolts also secure the stays for the mudguards.

Like this:o)

Powder Keg:
One of the chainstay tubes that the dropout is spot welded into was cracked a little. I decided to braze them all up while I had the torch out:o) Better safe than sorry. Now I just need to file them down a little and clean everything up for paint.



Weather is supposed to be better later this week\o/
