Got some more done today. Grinded off a few knobbley welds and bits, was going to grind off where stem was attached to bike frame but mate came around for his grinder - (iv'e had it 4 weeks).

As you can see mine was once a Raleigh - Don't know how badge got turned upside down? You can also see (maybe?) from this pic it aint straight - mate must have welded it squint!



As my mate took his grinder back (I'll loan it back ) I thought i'd just do a wee quick paint job. I also bolted my grey box back on.

Damn - forgot to take a pic of clamps/brackets bolted through box


The turn is not great due to box being on. I could extend the angle bracket out further to give me a better turning circle but I have now drilled and bolted throught the box
You can see the two bits where the old bike stem was welded - I still have to grind these off and do another paint job.


This is how it looks all hooked up.





I suppose I best go take it for a test run now that the box has been bolted back on.
I'll report back how it handles/tracks and if there are any hicups!

How's the welding coming along rtciv? You got you basket done yet?

Regards
Tom
