That wood "mold" would be perfect for hammering out thin, ultra light alloy tanks!

it's a bicycle chain with numbers brazed to the links. probably takes one of those school clocks to run it. (big spindle, strong motor)

EXCERPT:
I like this clock. I can't exactly say why but I think it's because it costs $2,338 and is definitely something my ~~son~~ team of highly skilled artisans could recreate for a fraction of the cost, ultimately saving you, the sucker, a bundle.

one of our favorite wall clocks, the catena wall clock hearkens back to traditional mechanical clocks. copper digits mounted onto a bicycle chain place emphasis on the cyclical nature of time. this clock is a striking clock, literally and figuratively.

IT'S A GEAR AND BICYCLE CHAIN. Sure it's awesome looking but you can't justify a $2,400 pricetag. Besides, what if some punk steals my chain for his BMX? Then I'm timeless!

All very valid points IC.. I am with you. However, take some time figure out how its done and make some cash, you have the skills to do it.. more so then I do.

Not exactly 'inspiring'..tragic more like:

Looks a bit Craig Vetter/Triumph Hurricane esque

While I don't care much for the body kit that is on it, it is sure a tragic turn for that bike! Why people just don't donate those to me rather then have them rust in a field some place is beyond me!

I just think what was the back story on this. The guy built his pride and joy. Probably a big hit at the Dairy Queen Friday nights.

Rode it into a field during a Tequila weekend. Found out Monday morning his 17yo sweetheart was pregnant (trailer trash?) And there it sat, the weeds and the earth rose around it.

Geeesh.

Lol.. Yea something like that.. Still wouldn't you go after it? I just don't understand..

MCRider · « **Reply #3730 on:** December 26, 2009, 02:26:59 pm »

Oh heck yeah. If I was looking for a project I'd jump on it. The "back story" and that picture are just too much to pass up.

No thanks.

Not my "cup of tea" at all.

I'd part it out to you guys. That tank looks like a cut down Harley sporster tank ripoff. That said, I know some of you are all "ga-ga" over this type of stuff. I'll take alloy CR tanks and seats.

I remember when the Tracy bodies first came out. They looked like nothing else out there. I think they look best as a "Street Tracker" build. JMHO

I have to agree...this is the first one I've seen that looks good to my eye.

Like I said, I'm a "CR750 look" guy.

Hey, what do you guys think about this fairing?

Yeah, it's $200 bucks.....Airtech "Dunstall 1/4 fairing kit".

The smoked windscreen isn't period correct...would have to be clear for me.

It's been bumping around in my noggin for a few weeks.

Ricky_Racer · « **Reply #3742 on:** December 27, 2009, 10:13:41 am »

Gustaffsen supplies AirTech's windscreens, so either should have a clear screen available. RR

Industrial Cafe · « **Reply #3743 on:** December 27, 2009, 10:59:33 am »

I'm a full fairing kind of guy. but those are cool.

vanillagorilla · « **Reply #3744 on:** December 27, 2009, 11:34:04 am »

Been thinkin on the same piece. Looks good. We will see how the bike looks once its all put together, see if it really needs it... It just might.

Yea, really depends on the bike, and the look your going for. I have seen some I like and some I did not. That bike of Seaweb's is the only one like that I have seen that I like. Maybe because he put so much work into it.. not sure.. Just looks good.

CaféElite · « **Reply #3746 on:** December 27, 2009, 05:49:28 pm »

I like the copper lines on this bike.. Think I will do the same for my electrical wire runs.

Industrial Cafe · « **Reply #3747 on:** December 27, 2009, 05:57:40 pm »

very nice looking... pan head? love the tasteful placement of holes

Ricky_Racer · « **Reply #3748 on:** December 27, 2009, 06:14:29 pm »

S&S repro pan motor. Very tasty! RR

vanillagorilla · « **Reply #3749 on:** December 27, 2009, 06:22:21 pm »

Yeah thats an S&S P series motor... I may be mistaken,but I think that may be a goldammer bike. He likes that boardtracker look. cool bike, no doubt.
