Just because you're special Flashback!


right mate, a quick word.

keep an eye on the threads in the caps on top of the springs. i know 2 builders in the u.k. who have used the exact same forks and have had the threads strip through. they can be re-threaded if it happens.

donīt want to panic you, just want to keep folks informed just in case.

I had wondered about that. The treads are just fine right now but it had crossed my mind. Thanks.

Looking forward to those pic's and all the neat little details it takes to bring a project like this together.
I find inspiration in a great project like this. Hope you have a blast from first cut to first ride, and on & on

We're just mocking up and we'll pull the engine to finish the welds. Of course this is still rough and the neck and downtube aren't in place yet.

Black bikes are faster, and it's a boy. My red Jeep is the girl of the family.
