I just went to work at it a few hours ago and I cut about 4mm off the top and bottom, it nearly fits now, there is meant to be a thinnish threaded bolt/washer to go above the chrome ring? It mounts up to the bike now and the bolt meets the thread, but the chrome ring sits on a small angleleaning forwards. I'll get a photo tomorrow because that sounds like it will be hard to understand.

YES SIR! That's what holding the t-tube in the head tube.

:dunno: Yeah sorry man I'm not the brightest up stairs, I think I've made that understandable. It's too dark to get a photo now, I will do tomorrow, I'm nearly ready to start stripping the frame down.

I've lost the washer thing for the fork thread, would a bike store have one?

 

[asco1]

It's all good man - been jokin' ... damn nobody recognizes when I'm makin' a little fun. :dunno:

.... yeah a bike shop should have that washer thingy. Guess it's about 50 cents or something.

I think I know now what you mean with the chromering sitting at an angle. Shouldn't be a problem there - you propably just didn't cut the tube in a 90° angle. Maybe you can scrub that down to fit or just leave it that way.
Damn it - technical stuff is hard to explain when english is not your native language. Hope you still understand what I'm sayin'.

Good luck bro.

Yeah cheers man, haha technical stuff is hard to explain unless your a scientist and you speak every language fluently...Well I can't explain it :dunno:

I cut the tube vitually straight as, I filed them as flat as they looked through the naked eye. There is a few places where I filed a little more angled then others so there is a few 0.5-1mm gaps here and there, but it shouldn't play a role on fucking that chrome ring around. Maybe just attaching that chrome washer for the fork thread will make it sit flat?

yeah I hear ya,

naturally - when everything is put together and tightened it should line up. If not - ride that way - it won't hurt (most of the time ). :biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

can't wait to see that. From what I see in your pictures it's a stepthrough frame - right? I love seeing different styles of frames done up. All that Schwinn-replica stuff is getting kinda boring. Still I like it and I even have some of them done up but we gotta come up with something unique.

PEACE!

 

[Purpura Delujo]

Yep, it's an old Malvern Star Ladys bike frame, I think that is why it is step through. I'm going to weld some bars on the top though, maybe from the seat post to the neck?
Here's some photos I just took.

 

[asco1]

uuh - that's NICE! .... don't weld the bars from the seat post to the neck ... give it some flow!

I agree, that one long peice makes a strong visual statement.

[Purpura Delujo]

I want to weld something to the rear triangles if not the frame :dunno:
I think the bars on the back look a bit too skinny alone.

 

[asco1]

something like this?

just did a little photoshopping

 

[BigPoppa]

Damn, I like that. Or maybe mold the whole rear end to the fender and make the skirts/fender follow the same line as that big "J" bar.

Damn that looks nice man, ha do you reckon you could put on a 32" sissy bar, 18" handlebars, longer chrome fenders (mine are alot longer then those) and paint it purple with a white or purple banana seat? :biggrin:
