Finished fab and mockup on Garys bike, part 1

This is the most hand built bike to date from Atom Bomb. The tank, fender and oil bag are all hand formed from aluminum, and of course I built the frame, exhaust, bars, controls, etc as well. I even turned and knurled the pegs, pedals and kicker pedal. Enough of me typing, have some pictures. These are like 2 meg pictures, so click on 'em for a better view.

This is what I started with on this bike. In 1976 some guys in Michigan decided to build some sort of Triumph powered digger out of sprinkler pipe. This is as far as they got. How the guy that had this thing kept up with the neck since 1976 is beyond me, but I'm pretty happy he did! Needless to say the neck is the only part of any of this nonsense I reused for the new frame.
