Things Are Heating Up

This visit to the shop was very productive. Things are starting to come together fast! John picked up the first hub adapter plate from the machine shop and did a test fit and everything aligned perfectly! Time to weld it to the adapter and get a wheel mounted!

Everything lines up, bolt circles match the hubs

Checking for warpage... everything ok so far

Time to move the frame from the ground to up on our 'jig' so we can work on the wheels and have better access to the underside.

Erik & John moving her into place..

Tom always making sure things are moving smoothly, nothing but class...

The first wheel is mounted! YAY!

Meanwhile, Dave goes to town finishing bike prep for the pedal system.

Kate gets to work cutting more gussets for the frame

Welding bike parts

More welding...

Well the next visit to the shop should be equally as busy. The motorcycle front end will be ready and the other 2 hub adapter plates will be in as well. Hopefully within a week or so we can have this thing ready to ride!!!
