Ilia,that is amazing work

.
Thank you for posting all these picture,
I'm learning new work technics from what you have shown in your pictures.
Reading your post, I was wondering what these springer fork were for? Then you mentioned they were for an electric bike

I wanted to see more, I checked your youtube link and again, amazing work. I like your bobber style bike and I remember seing your headlight project write-up before.
I've never seen a transmission on an electric bike. I can't imagine the speed the bike will achieve.
Project like yours only inspires me.
That is exactly why I got into homeshop machining, hoping some day I will be able to built a bike like that.

Thanks for posting!
Phil

Brancusi could not have made such beautiful sculptures.

Any compliment I could write would be inadequate.
You have inspired me to improve my work. Thank you.
