This project is just about complete. I have cut off an old 1 1/8 steering tube off a old set of bent forks(mongoose). The tube had to be drilled out towards the bottom, It got thicker as it went down. Drilled two small holes so I could weld it to the original tube. Fits perfectly, so now all I have to do is weld the tube as I mentioned and fix the bosses plus cable guide. That is all happening tonight.
