Stretched@Birth Posted February 10, 2014 Author Posted February 10, 2014 Test fitted on the frame. divernick 1
Stretched@Birth Posted February 10, 2014 Author Posted February 10, 2014 The fork ends have been laser cut out of 4mm plate. Problem is, because the triple clamps are off a motorbike, they are wider than I want. Was looking to cut some plate to build spacers, but this would be a hack. Then remembered, rear axles are wider than fronts, and fit the gap perfectly. So, rear axle in the front hub and all should be peachy. Tomorrow, I weld the fork ends.

Bobbo_SA Posted February 10, 2014 Posted February 10, 2014 Ok, maybe I should just put out a wanted ad for a black square taper crankset... Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 2 Square taper should be fine to anodize, no shaft to dissolve

Stretched@Birth Posted February 18, 2014 Author Posted February 18, 2014 Fork-ends welded, still a small bit of fabrication to do, and then paint! Flippa 1
Stretched@Birth Posted February 20, 2014 Author Posted February 20, 2014 It rolls! Happy to report that everything on the fork lines up, wheel is centered and straight, need to chop the legs a little shorter. ewep, NotSoBigBen and the nerd 3
Flippa Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Why do you want to shorten the legs? thought you were going with the raked out look?
