My Vintage Replica

Whew...looking at the welds on the frame I wouldn't ride it at 3 mph let alone 30 mph. You sir, are a brave person.

Ya I was using a new welder I had got the week before I built it and it kept fluctuating the output voltage and that made welding a ***** and since I built it on Sunday I couldn't get it replaced till the next day, but the penetration on the welds is fine. They just look like chicken poop stacked with chopsticks.:D
 
Methinks a little grinding down on the chicken poop and a nice paint job and it would look great.

I would fit some sort of suspension as your body will *hurt* without it - maybe an open springer fork and a spring seat?

Re brakes - get hold of some kevlar brake pads and you'll be fine - its what I have fitted up on my GEBE and that'll cruise at 34.5-35 flat out.

You have a good sense of aesthetics - the frame dimensions look 'right' which doesnt happen very often on scratchbuilds when the frames are cut about..

congrats..

And people were giving me **** for my build.....

I'll second the brave comment.
also rude.... but at least you got to pimp your bike...in someone else's thread.
