Yet another 7/12...

[Ben Slabby]

Ok, so finally starting to get this together.
After getting the frame/seat unit/tank from Dan, (this was on the old site, so you can tell how long ago it was) and a spanky B12 lump courtesy of Busa Ash (again, nearly a year ago) it's finally time to get going with it. I know it might not be particularly original or exciting, but bear with me...
The original plan was for a bargain-basement rat-style flat barred 'fighter, but I thought it'd be nice to have a shiny bike for once.
So as the budget goes out the window and costs spiral, here we go...

This is what I bought from Dan, less the lump...

Stripped, cleaned and ready for powdercoat. Black was chosen because it'll likely go with whatever colour it ends up.


The plan is for a flat seat pan to accommodate any future changes to the seat unit. it might just end up with a piece of foam on the alloy plate yet.

Frame back from powdercoat by Triple s in Bingley. The seat pan was cut and fitted by Dave Hartley (top job, also top tea-making skills), as was the headlight bracket mount.









Very happy with the powdercoat, there was some slight outgassing on the cast sections, but looks well.

Powder looks top notch alright, looking forward to seeing the progress
