I'll be adding some pictures shortly of some of the work that was performed over the summer break. The rear seat loop had to be finished. Mr. Sheppard tack-welded the old loop into place, to test the concept. The bike was dropped off at Cycleboyz (check out the link to the right) for "proper" welding. The frame needed to be sleeved, with a rosette weld and seam welds holding the loop on... and that was after custom-bending the 7/8" tubing to match the seat hump. As usual, the workmanship was impeccable, and once again, Cycleboyz donated their time and material to the project. An amazing group of people!!!
Speaking of donations, Mr. Sheppard got an email from Dime City Cycles. A real groovy bunch of folks who have been building Cafe Racers for years, and have been featured on "Cafe Racer TV". Jason Paul Michaels from Dime City has agreed to supply us with a stainless steel reverse megaphone muffler, and is throwing in some other stuff -- t-shirts, stickers, and a banner -- for the Kids Cafe Crew. Awesome. Check out Dime City Cycles at: http://www.dimecitycycles.com/. We'll add a permanent link to their page and online shop to the right.
Pictures to come shortly!
