Now I need to work on the gusset on the frame and set it up for the bottom bracket. Seat mount then the handle bar.
Does anyone have any handle bar set up like the v3,v2 or the x-stream or the stratus bike???
The the last thing before ride is to get cable runed.

So how's the new build coming Thomas?

I'm almost ready to mount the BB, and add the cranks back in. Need a steering linkage built for the USS then chain assembled for a test ride.

For those interested this is my third build, but no pics yet. I do have pics of the first two, the second is now complete, save paint.

And the Blue Phoenix (with my Infinity):

WE did our best time of 6.85 in the 1/8 mile at 98 mph. So hope fully this week I'll get the bb installed and be working on the steering. Later Thomas J
