Visualizing the frame

That is about how it is going to be. Tape is a guide for an eye on how the frame is going to be. I'm not sure about the oil tank - it's funny but, well it's funny. And also it might turn out to be very impractical in shape and difficult to fit.



It's not going to be a chopper. Thing which sometimes seems to raise strong opinions.

There was a swap meet and afterparty some weeks ago where I tried to get to know and into discussions with different people who might be able to work with the engine and the transmission. Engine at least needs to be measured and most likely bored as I'm expecting little damaged. Anyway, as part of these discussions I got plenty of opinions what the bike should be. Especially there were couple of nice and very skilful chopper builders who really seemed to struggle with trying to comprehend why an earth someone would not build a chopper. They were all like "why build a bike at all if it's not going to be chopper". Good question, but building bikes makes no sense anyway - its extremely expensive way of getting possession of something highly impractical. Still not making a chopper, at least not from this one but the next time I just might.

And I did promise to pay these aforementioned chopper dudes a visit and maybe learn something more about what they do and how.
