New stuff

Got some new parts in today. 

Since we moved I haven't had the luxury of a lathe so I had to ask my dad to fabricate some parts. 

The parts i recieved so far: seat hinge, seat spring mount, tank mount bungs, risers, bungs for the sissybar etc.

Now all I have to do is find some spare time to weld it al to the bike.

It Will be spring soon

Waiting for the weather to clear up so i can make my first kilometers since we moved. 

In the mean time i'm working on our new house. Last week i removed the old wooden shed and used it to keep warm while working in the garden. 

Next up: installing a new door in this wall so i can easely get the bike out of the shed. Of course there are plans for a bigger garage/shed in the future. 

Unpacking

Starten unpacking in the new shed today. 

First things first. Installing the work bench and shelves are first priority so I can unpack my tools.  

Almost ready to move

Finished packing in the shed last night. 

All the tools and small Parts are boxed, bikes are prepaired for transport and all the shelves are of the wall. 

Next week i can start unpacking in my new shed.

On her own wheels.

Finally she is standing on her own two wheels. Just a few hours of labor and she is finished. Just in time though. I ran out of welding gas when I tried to reinforce some welds. 

I'm going to move to the other side of the country in a couple of weeks. Until then no further progress. Hopefully some progress once i'm settled. 

One down, one more to go

Finally got one side of the frame done. 

Flipped the frame jig over and started cutting in the other side. 

She already starts to look like a true hardtail. 

Just added a few parts to get an idea of the lines. Pretty neat so far. 

Finally some progress

Welded the lower frame tube today.

Next up; Figuring out the new connection between the backbone and the rear engine mount. After that it should be a smooth ride to copy al this to the other side. Hoppefully I have a full roller by the end of this summer.
