She's finally arrived - Changa Build
Picklez:
Well the seat positioning. Still not sure which I prefer. I much prefer the positioning/height when the seat guts show, but prefer the look when the seat guts are recessed/hidden away, I may revert to the guts on show :-\
Guts showing:
And recessed:
But that aside, it's kind of finished. I can't believe the day has come. Four years of hunting, searching, building. There's a couple of tweaks that I'd like to do, but that will depend on whether I retain her of she sells. We'll see.
I'll try to get some better pictures at the weekend, weather allowing, and if so will get some with the other bars option fitted up - the VDC second gen Woody's.
Thanks for following and all the comments and kind words over the years.
On to the next one....

Thanks so much, I've appreciated the comments throughout :4_17_5:.
It certainly was a journey. Hopefully she'll remain with me for some time to come, maybe with a few parts subtly changed out. We'll see.
Take care.

Amazing dude. Absolutely amazing.
Are you going to keep it now?
I don't think I could sell that tbh. I really don't think you?d ever find another one.

Thank you sir, much appreciated.
I'd love to keep it, and you're right I'd never put another one together to this standard, finding all those parts again would be impossible.
But, medical bills are crazy at the moment, youngest girl still recovering from a severe example of Scoliosis, middle girl currently challenged with a C scare and other complications, and now my better half has lost the sight in one eye. On top of that founding a new company is just a sponge for finances you thought were your life savings - NOT. So, cash fast evaporating and therefore considering/needing-to rationalise whether nice-to-haves are really that important in the grander scheme of things :(.
If I'm lucky I may bridge the gap selling some of the parts, and other parts, and actually holding on to the bulk of it, to then replace the sold parts with some others (not quite so nice examples but still darn good) and manage to keep the ol girl, but if not so be it. Having your loved ones trumps a hobby any day, I know we all believe that with all of our hearts.
And if it does sell oh well. I'm so lucky to still have my original DP and a couple of other bikes/projects to keep me going.
Most important is we all look after each other, stay healthy, and happy.
Ok, hippy shit over. Cheers bud :4_17_5:
