that all looks great. *grudge*

perhaps i try to make my own buke in the sommer..
but i don't have a "bending-machine" so that will be really difficult.

i just painted mine and put whitewall tires on.

You can draw your idea 1:1 in paper. then you see all your curves and
you can take them on metal work shop or some metal school and they bend your tubes whit low money!

olli how do you weld your bikes? I recently restored a 1953 Peugeot bike, and noticed that all joints were done by brass brazing - I guess because it heats the metal less than CO2 or other welding, so it's less likely to crack? Am I right? Now I'm doing a 50's three-wheeler for my kid, and frame is also brass-brazed.

Old bikes are often made whit brass "weldings". I use just Mig or Tig welding.
