Bung it in a skip & get a real bike? Sorry Archie! Joking mate. Free stuff's always good. Title: Re: Project cheap, free and steezy Post by: Archie on December 30, 2012, 08:23:39 PM Owned one?
A mate had one when we were growing up and regularly saw 130+ Don't get me wrong won't be a patch on my 7r I had, but they still make about 70brake. And 6r lumps go in if need be. And will be much faster and probably reliabler than the xs. And it was free so ner.

Putting together a bike you have all the bits for and know it fits is ever so therapeutic! Quite surprised by the size of it, not large, but not uncomfortably small. Just need to wait for the seat to turn up now to carry on. Big bonus is the subframe is split into 2 and the front half is fairly stubby anyway so shouldn't need much altering.

Lol. He had a lump in the front of his upper jaw that had to come out. Unfortunately he's lost his top front canines and now looks a right state of a creature. (http://i1019.photobucket.com/albums/af318/archie_837/1B2C90C7-C073-4F9D-85AB-0F79EAB54D07-1419-000003056028D6FD.jpg) It's also meant his nose has dropped as well, but once he's healed from this he should be able to go in for some reconstructive bits. Title: Re: Project cheap, free and steezy Post by: hunter on January 05, 2013, 09:16:34 PM He looks great.looks like he's smiling.
Is he a lurcher. Title: Re: Project cheap, free and steezy Post by: Archie on January 05, 2013, 09:28:53 PM Yeah he is not entirely sure of the cross - believe it to be boxer grey hound, but can't be sure.
He's our 5th lurcher we've had. Best dogs by far. Title: Re: Project cheap, free and steezy Post by: hunter on January 05, 2013, 09:51:50 PM These ar my pair,

Went and had a play today. Looks like I should be able to use the original subframe which saves a headache. Slapped it on as was and the seat was a bit long and skinny as well as interfering with the tank mount which is on the subframe. (http://i1019.photobucket.com/albums/af318/archie_837/F358D7F2-84A6-4F0E-BA5C-05AF57EE0018-1676-000003573F52ACC3.jpg) So I took out the first 3 inches of the seat and delugged the rear of the subframe to get this (http://i1019.photobucket.com/albums/af318/archie_837/754C0ABF-2E62-473A-927A-2D02C0BDABDC-1676-0000035745F7A9CF.jpg) Looks real good in the flesh, so happy with it. The seat still needs to come down slightly angle wise which it will naturally do when I chop the rear off the subframe as that's what's holding it up. I got some swoops bars off of lunatic so need to get them on next to get the initial feel of the shape done. Feeling pretty happy with it today Title: Re: Project cheap, free and steezy Post by: scannerzer on January 06, 2013, 07:36:05 PM lookin good :)
Title: Re: Project cheap, free and steezy Post by: thebigdogsix on January 06, 2013, 09:10:37 PM Build a chopper out of it :D Need to fix the one I have first. Or sell it to me please :) Well i guess il have to build my own then :P bought myself a front end just need an XS now lol Title: Re: Project cheap, free and steezy Post by: Archie on January 12, 2013, 06:03:38 PM Trial fitted some bars and risers today with some more of galaxie500's gaffa tape. Sits just right so now I need to drill the top yoke and bolt it in properly.
(http://i1019.photobucket.com/albums/af318/archie_837/73A1E768-C70A-4E4F-A06A-BDCBCAC9EC71-304-0000010C59474C28.jpg) (http://i1019.photobucket.com/albums/af318/archie_837/1EF0AE1E-B8D2-4AD2-89BA-8ECFB70F7A5C-304-0000010C60EC9D43.jpg) Don't get me wrong I love the xs, but sitting on this it feels a bit more me and brings back lots of hooligan memories. Also wondering how this would look with knobblies going down pendine Title: Re: Project cheap, free and steezy Post by: hunter on January 13, 2013, 01:46:56 AM You wouldn't use knobblies down pendine,you would use whats on there,
Knobblies would rip the course up. Title: Re: Project cheap, free and steezy Post by: Archie on January 13, 2013, 08:19:25 AM Fair enough.
Title: Re: Project cheap, free and steezy Post by: BikerGran on January 13, 2013, 08:08:18 PM You wouldn't use knobblies down pendine,you would use whats on there, Knobblies would rip the course up. Not slicks? Title: Re: Project cheap, free and steezy Post by: hunter on January 13, 2013, 11:32:46 PM No slicks,So the tyres he's got will be fine.
Title: Re: Project cheap, free and steezy Post by: Archie on January 18, 2013, 02:52:04 PM Free swoopy bars from lunatic mounted onto a freshly drilled top yoke.

Title: Re: Project cheap, free and steezy Post by: Archie on January 18, 2013, 03:56:00 PM Thought you'd cleaned your frame up rather well! Don't have the patience for that. He's filling and smoothing all the welds before getting it coated Title: Re: Project cheap, free and steezy Post by: Archie on January 26, 2013, 10:05:09 PM Bars on properly, riding position seems pretty nice.

Title: Re: Project cheap, free and steezy Post by: hornet6 on April 07, 2013, 08:41:52 PM Love the stance of it. Gotta get my GS cafe racer done soon, now the weather's perked up a bit.

I had a sit on this today. Very small & lightweight, (yeah, I know there's no engine in it at the moment). Gonna be a real hooligan bike. Title: Re: Project cheap, free and steezy Post by: Archie on June 02, 2013, 08:59:23 PM Managed to play today with the aid of Marcus. I'd spent a few evenings with PD bending up some tube to make a new subframe and getting the general shape done. I then whizzed it to Marcus's for full welding and making some seat mounts.
The seat itself was quite strong and fairly rigid, but I made up a plate to strengthen it underneath and allow us to bolt the seat down to the subframe. Once riveted on it made it super strong and I was glad made it. We also made some tabs for the seat to bolt through to and the rear mount for the tank. Once all bolted up it was absolutely solid and has a great position as well as being aesthetically pleasing. (http://i1019.photobucket.com/albums/af318/archie_837/64C2E9F7-796E-4FE6-94E3-7F57123A35AA-496-000001139AB660DE_zpse86ebc02.jpg) Really glad with how the lines flow - the line of the bottom of the tank follows the bottom of the seat and the top of the rear of the seat is in line with the top of the tank. Here you can see the plate underneath (http://i1019.photobucket.com/albums/af318/archie_837/C1EF61AC-5CD5-4E41-A336-D29E44092FC2-496-00000113BAD24054_zpsedc3d991.jpg) (http://i1019.photobucket.com/albums/af318/archie_837/CCC6F923-C5EA-4CBB-AECB-945AAB25E738-496-00000113AA8CE5A0_zps5808e803.jpg) And Marcus trying it out for size (http://i1019.photobucket.com/albums/af318/archie_837/07146AD6-D421-4C6F-A83D-68C3D44DA5A6-496-00000113C99DC363_zps601fe1f7.jpg) Now to get the engine in. Title: Re: Project cheap, free and steezy Post by: Manky Monkey on June 02, 2013, 10:09:42 PM Nice, Archie.
Title: Re: Project cheap, free and steezy Post by: Olds on June 03, 2013, 09:25:02 AM Agree about the seat. Suits the bike.
Think you need a different (read, fit and female) resident model to pose with the vehicles. Sorry Marcus ;) Title: Re: Project cheap, free and steezy Post by: Manky Monkey on June 03, 2013, 02:09:01 PM How about the workshop cat? She's fit & female. Mind you, she did leave half a mouse under the tarpaulin covering my truck yesterday.
