Good ickle first build J4ck :daumenhoch: It's good to see youngsters building instead of just getting their parents to buy a new one :coolsmiley:
Hope the bug stays with you and you go on to build a lot lot more :4_17_5:

Good stuff Jack . I like what youve done . Its built for what you want it for so well done for that. Ive great respect for little Jack , Hes bursting with enthusiasm and has several OS bikes and made the effort and travelled over from Ireland to the BurnerBash cos he is proper dedicated . Actually Jack Ive a full set of team decals sitting here you can have to stick on that if you want them. Well done mate & keep at it :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch:
-

I personally hate burners and dont post for the sake of it,but this is different and deserves praise,a fusion of old skool through nu skool eyes.i like it,be sure to post some pics when it is wearing the decals! :daumenhoch:
-

New pics at the top

Looking good Jack, the cable routing could be re worked though, have you tried the brake mounted under the seat stays, with a straddle wire `straddling' the seat tube, you would need a retro fit cable mount/adjuster under the top tube, but I reckon you should be able to find one somewhere...
Good work

you would need a retro fit cable mount/adjuster.
what is that?
are they rare?
any links?
thanks :4_17_5:
-
liking the changes jack :daumenhoch:
-
what 'engine' are you using for the gulf coloured bike??!!
-
my dad used to/ still does work at old motorbikes so he is sorting the engin out
i think its a chainsaw engine :knuppel2:

thanks :4_17_5:
It is something that will clamp the cable outer and adjuster to the top tube, i've seen a jubilee clip used, but its not very pretty!, a dia comple cable clamp might do the job, I'll have a rummage in my lucky box and see if I have anything that'd do the job :daumenhoch:
-
thanks m8 that be great
i understand what you mean now
:4_17_5:

I haven't got anything that'd work mate, i've just put `bike cable stop' in ebay, have a look at the results, might give you an idea.
I'd get a tab welded on and threaded before you paint it, then you'll be away. A local engineers works should be able to help, or ask your Dad if he knows anyone.
Or leave it as it is if it works!

wil have a look on ebay now
