Now I couldn't put it off any longer. I had been accumulating a collection of minor but significant corrections and modifications to the frame, and deferring them while more might arise. Finally I had to do something about it, so here comes a new frame.
Doesn't really look any different from the old one ... ... the main visible change being that the lining out is a little bit narrower. There are also a few geometric changes, none of which notice until you fit things together. Finally things can indeed go together. The engine ... ... and the just-completed front forks ... Progress!

Very nice. Quite a bit of detail - I'm surprised you didn't make a separate chain with individual links.

Ok, First things first....
Ok, now that I'm done expressing myself, I would like to ask you to also publish templates to make this beauty in the same scale you are doing it...for all we nuts that love that scale, please please please. Cheers |

Hi all,
rmks2000 - cheeky! The engine doesn't work, either. Edgardo - the idea is to arrange the larger-scale parts on A4/Letter-sized pages for the guys who like them big, but everything is vector graphics so rescaling down will be easy. Zathros - thank you again. Heaven knows it's not THAT precise, but it is giving a good impression now. Alan |

Now for something a lot easier, both to design and to make.
Assembled: Quite satisfying, as they give a strong impression of the components yet to come. Alan |

Nice. The pin striping really adds to this model and seems to highlight how delicate the bike appears.

The exhaust.
The muffler appears to have been a significant selling point - The "Silent" Grey Fellow. Interesting, though, that the exhaust pipe leads to a short stub with an end which can be opened to bypass the muffler "for full performance out of town". And a much better noise for the rider, if not for passers-by, no doubt. Alan |

I now have a front wheel
and a rear one I don't think I need to bore you yet again with the story of how they are built. Then comes the big pulley for the drive belt I couldn't resist putting them together to see how they look, but they won't be fixed until I have completed the rest of the drive system. Alan |
