Springer fork looks better, more of the custom look. If you have troubles with the pedals, then move the bottom bracket tube up along the lower tube more towards the front. This is also on my near future plans, always wanted one but couldn't get myself to cut my 68 Schwinn, so it was sold for a nice profit.

That's why I cut up a Huffy! lol
After this one is done I'll be trying my fab skills at building my own frame!

Seat post is done. I should be getting things done a little faster now that I got a bunch of customers stuff out of the way.

I'm not gonna mess with the crank being only a 1/2 inch from the ground so I cut the lower bar and moved it down. I don't have a pipe bender so I used pie cuts to bend the bottom half and slid a small but thicker tube inside.

Now I need to finish grinding down the welds, had a little putty and I have a smaller bar I want to run across the middle.
All for now!

Doing some test panels to see how I want to lay the "Fotina"
I think I'm going to go with spraying both colors and wet sanding until it comes through, like this:

Here is a v-cover I did to hang in my garage.

Tonight I will try and get the new crank holder (whatever it's called) moved to the front and finish grinding down the welds.
