Yeah, so what's the problem.
That is a cool green. Somebody had a plan.
Nice job on the frame. Some nice doo dads too.
Looks really solid. Good luck with her.

Thanks!
I basically stripped down every bolt on this project! Rebuild it from scratch. Just wanted to share it. I’m new to the site.

Nice. Careful with that extra light though. The seat, umm, has a certain rustic charm, but I find myself looking for the hole.

 

[Elie]

Thanks!
Actually I’m still working on it to finish it. I will be rounding out the wood seat in the back, to give it the café racer look, and adding leather so my butt doesn’t get splintered!!

Looks pretty good, I hope the seat works out as good as the rest of your work.

 

[Elie]

Thanks!
I’m actually a carpenter! Go figure!
It’s a labour of love!

Wooden like to sit on it for very long right now.

The seat will be upholstered with padding and leather.

I hope you didn't use a "hard" wood.

Can't say as I like the seat, it'd be like sitting on a plank of wood. LOL!

EDIT
I thought it was pretty obvious my comment above was made in jest. Apparently, Gggary and Bosco don't think so, so, I've added 'LOL' after the comment to help them out.

Sitting on a plank of wood shaped like a seat is akin to sitting on a plank of wood. Do you think?

I guess what is obvious to one is not neccesarily obvious to another.

Google “ Texavina “ for seat options please

I can relate to the seat. I've made a few nice backrest pads with plywood, foam and vinyl. Bike looks awesome. Very tasteful use of the black paint.
