Default More Updated Pics of My Bob Build (Almost there!)

Here are some more pics. I've been able to put about 75 miles on it since getting it on the road last week. This week I should get the new wheels and hand tooled leather pinch spring seat on. Then from there it's going to a local shop for the new rear fender and old school pinstripping.

Basic,
I had to add to my favs list of BOB's. I wish I had the $$$ to get everything powdercoated on mine. Looks super-sick! Can't wait to see it with the wheels.

I'll have to machine down the axle to 3/4". It's a narrow glide wheel and won't accept 1" bearings. It shouldn't be a big deal though since the axle is solid. There is a machine shop here that could do it no problem I'm sure. Then once I get it mocked up I'll have to have some 3/4" spacers made or order some.

DyNaBoB,

I'm 5'9" and they are not a stretch at all. I have plenty of bend in my leg still. They may be a bit of a stretch for you still but just wear some loggers or something with alot of sole and I'm sure you could make it work.
