The bike is now completed, It has been an experience and a half! I am really happy how it turned out, if I was to change anything about it, it would be the handle bars! I would not have them as long and I would have them out further. If I was going to add anything else in, I would add in foot rests.
Handlebars and attaching them to the frame. As i had already used a set of goalposts as the back for my seat i decided it might be a good idea to try and incorporate a set of goalposts into my handlebars as this would complete the rugby pitch with two sets of goals and rugby field. How would i incorporate goalposts into handlebars though? Here is a completed photo of the goalposts.
I used different shades of Metallic sprays throughout my project, Separating where necessary. Methods of separating included Stencils or Masking Tape. Problem with tape was that it removed paint after It was removed.
Fillers, paints and finishes. Fillers, paints and finishes. I am starting to see some things coming together on the bike for the first time and I really feel I will get it done. I have removed the engine for spraying. I had to insert a angle .
I finally got the frame welded together. I used arc, mig and tig welding. I found it very difficult to mark out the round bar and to get it square. I sometimes wished i had chosen the box. However I am happy now that i didnt as i think the round looks very well. i will take these new found skills with me into my future Teaching jobs.
