    Hello All,

    I wanted to post this thread when the bike was ready and running.
    But then something unexpected happened (again) what made me post it earlier, hoping to draw some attention from other builders who can help me out with some advice.

    This is the sprint when I bought it and the other picture how i visioned it.

    So I made this what made it look like that,.... But the banana wasn't satisfying, so thought a little less is more...

    So we cut a little more and the result is this!

    I am a happy man!

    But now I something broke off my cilinderhead, see my post in the technical forum.

    What do you think so far??

    Greetings,
    Tjeerd

    This is how it is now. Sort of finished...
    The seat needs remodeling, but I haven't figured out yet how I want it so it is okay for now.

    That’s cool, I was thinking about using the original tank, stripped back to the steel and lacquered.
