Tore the bike down and started working on the frame - first thing, cut off that massive wrap around headstock gusset lump to be replaced with a couple of neat clean plate gussets.
I was looking for an inexpensive hardtail and had decided to build my own, went shopping for a used welder but no luck so I ordered the Road 6 hardtail package.
So, once I get the hardtail installed and assemble the roller I'll decide where I'm going with it.
The pic shows the bike before tear down the way I've had it for the last couple of years, 6 over front end, raked bearing cups. I'm leaning towards going back to a stock length front end but haven't decided, see what it looks like assembled. The other pics show the naked head stock before clean up and gussets and I threw in a pic of the hardtail package that's on the way.
If there's any interest, I will update this occasionally as I go along.
