I buy the delrin from McMaster-Carr, it's pretty cheap. I sanded and cleared the tank yesterday. Today I put the tank, seat, and fender on and pushed it outside. I'm hoping to take it for a ride this week.

While i'm no fan of the tires on this bike, i really like the way it turned out, good skills mate...

Nice result for the bike. There's not a lot of clearance between the rear fender and the tire. Better hope you don't hit a bump that compresses the shocks or you're going to be rubbing that tire. Possibly enough to stop the wheel?

Those are some truly impressive fabrication skills. I bet those rear shocks are pretty stiff given the small amount of travel and the clearance to the rear fender -- a flexi-rigid.

+1 really enjoying the fabrication work that you put in.

Yeah the rear shocks are very stiff. Barely any movement at all. The bike is pretty much a rigid.

I haven't updated this in a long time. I didn't do much to the bike over the winter but I did make a new set of foot pegs and handlebars. The bike also got 2nd place in the Martin Moto modern classics show a few weeks back. Now I'm just waiting for warmer weather to get out riding.
