Very VERY pleased to have landed this early Black Shadow.

Notice the oval down tube, the solid drops and the "missing" integrated seat post clamp - the cut out in the drops, round down tube and clamp all came later...

Forks

It does have some issues so its going to need a trip to Doctor Phil for some TLC (I haven't told him yet)

Well at last, after being messed about for month's by a couple of engineer's, the first having it for 4 month's and not even touching it, the second who had it for a couple of weeks a quoted me £1200

then I found someone that was reliable and 4 weeks later the crank is now complete and cut out of grade 5 titanium for the fatgoose project.

Cant wait, What happened to the thread?

snoopy72 · « **Reply #1993 on:** May 10, 2014, 10:24 PM »

I originally made the thread on retro-goose.com and when I put photo's up you then get messages up in between, also I have changed so many parts during the year, by 18 pages it got really messy so I had the thread removed.
The plan is to re make the thread from start to finish with new photo's and write up so comment's and questions can be added afterwards.

The frame welding should be completed by the end of next week, then I'm going to replace the black spokes for polished stainless, remove the reflector brackets and also fit the rear disc hub. I shall then build the bike complete to make sure everything works ok before I strip it again for the paint.
