And this is where I want to go with it - build wise

I also want to possibly dye the wheels yellow

Ok I've clean up the frame and with help from Del (i've mocked up some laser printed decals) just to get the scale right, (ignor the colours)  the artwork will then be returned to Del to be properly printed.

Right then firstly a MASSIVE Thank you to both

Del and Dan (aka superbikedan)

Without the pair of you -  starting a project like this just would never have happen in the past

So here we go:

Frame arrived today from Dan's shop, we spoke quite a bit over the weekend about what I needed and Dan was very helpful and spot on:

Added some forks:

And some of Dels amazing decals...

Well all in all I'm over the moon with this one Thanks again Dan & Del  :daumenhoch:

I guess this is as good a place to beg:

If anyone wants to donate a knackered flight crank arm to this project I'm happy to 'buy' them off you. I'm looking for one drive and one non-drive to have chopped and shorten.  :daumenhoch:

WOODY  :)

Darren, as it is in essence a mini not a pit, I'm going to try for to go the whole hog and get a set of flights cut down to 145mm.

That way it Abigail will be able to ride it properly when she's old / big enough.

I've got some black redline mini grips that might suit that, 1 has the end torn off, But you might be able to trim it and use something like a sharp 1:11 bar end.
Yours if you want them.

Post by: diesel on March 07, 2011, 03:11 PM

a little weekend tinkering - the cranks are too long 165mm (they belong to a different project) but they gave me a better idea of what is needed and how it might look
