Drive stalk insert. This is a steering tube insert. It has been sawed off to have the same angle at both ends. The tip cams were wallowed out to accept a 5/16 carriage bolt. Inside the fork a 1/2" socket wrench was inserted and the nut tightend until the tubes were ovaled. Its a very snug fit, but this will need to be pinned in the final stages of the build.

Rerailer chain idler (test fit). It didn't work out as shown in this picture. I had to move it down more.

Mounted drive stalk detail. Lots of washers and only 3 bolts, boy am I a trusting soul. I'll saw the ends off later.

No-weld with no rider, so you can see where the forks were mounted. That's a standard Virco (www.virco.com) 9018 squash colored chair.

Finished product. Middle cranks were cut so they won't drag in turns. The steering column was lengthen using the above drive stalk method (using a piece of stock 1/2" galvanized water pipe).

These are the only power tools you'll need. A dremel with cut-off wheel and tungsten carbide cutter. A circular saw with metal cutting abrasive blade, and a power drill. I don't even own an angle grinder. My wife is going on vacation so I'll have a chance to buy more tools then.

Here's an option graphic for the finished bike. Totally white trash, and totally worth it.
