    Coming along nicely mate.

    Looks fantastic already. I'd quite happily sit that on my living room table as is ;)

    Is it now the case then that once you have the top mounts you can bang the wheels in and have a rolling chassis?

    Awesome, awesome job.

    Hi again Cabbie

    Loving your work and glad to see u back again. I was at the NEC show and seen your kwikasfaki. It's even better in the flesh. I almost fell over the red tape trying to get a better look :)

    Did u make the rear sets yourself?

    I like what your doing mate and the vison you have but I am not a lover of the box section, I make lots of things from farm tractors to bikes and have used box for years as its easy to work with your welding looks very good and when I say box is easy to work with I am not saying your task is easy at all! My worry would be the stress welds that have been flat back is the bike for show or a little madness? I admire all that you have done with the bike... Be nice to see it when its done.

    The whole idea behind this is to see if a frame could be made with just an angle grinder, the only welds that will be ground are the leg cut outs are if you look I've added inner sections so there are 3 layers of alloy at this point.

    There are still 40 pieces to be added to the frame.
