Coleman Originals First Build

First off, MAD750, that's one of the nicest things anyone's said to me! Thanks so much for the kind words! I like the suggestion for the name. It fits. We'll have to see if PRIDE sticks.

Mollard, I do the destruction derby every year with a buddy of mine. He drives, and I paint the car and am crew chief in the pits. It's one of the most fun things ever. Plus, all the proceeds from the event go to charity. Eventually getting my own own shop would cover the whole, living the dream bit.

NeoDutch, That cam cover is SICK!!!!! What is it off? Yours? I'd love to see the build/finished product.

Dan at Angry Monkey has it now. Not sure what model it was from. 350 I think.

Your fabrication is excellent!

Thanks Gnarly!

Beautiful work! That seat spring idea is pure genius
Looking forward to seeing more!

Thanks DanTheMan! I've been working on it for a long time. Still a few bugs to work out, but I think it looks good.

Great work so far. Nice "outside the box" engineering. I look forward to more updates.
Cheers, Dan.

So, Its been for ever since my last update... Sorry. Life has gotten a bit hectic. Not much has happened with the build. I did however manage to start work on my frame jig. This way i can get started on raking the neck. I will have step by step shots of that process. hopefully it will look like it wasn't touched when I'm done. All factory stampings and markings will remain intact.

Oh rad, I love that this build is back! Keep the updates coming!!!

I was going to rake the neck on this bike just a hair. But, another CC member convinced me not to. I slapped the bike back together with the front end I've got and the 21" and 18" wheels I'm using. I will need to take a few inches out of the forks to level the bottom of the frame, but other than that, I think the stance and proportions look good.
