seeing the bike in a pile of parts was making me sad, so i decided to go ahead and start putting the thing together. this will be ciaociao v0.1a, seattle rally mode! haha.
no welding done on the frame yet, no cross bar. the custom fork isn’t ready, so i’ll be running with the a bravo fork (which just happens to match the rattle can paint job on ciaociao’s frame!), altered to fit the larger front axle.

no motor yet, as you can see. i couldn’t get a hold of mikemike this weekend to see if i could go to his shop and work on it, which sucks. i think he was probably more worried about working on his own project anyway.
the cdi should be close to ready to go, unless mikemike has been too busy to work on it at all.. it’s the intake i was hoping to get in there to work on. maybe sometime this week? i’m running out of time! i don’t even know what to do for jetting yet! fuck.
anyway, it should be running, even if running shitty, for the rally. it’s so close, i don’t see how it could not be.
i even added a basket to the front to carry my gas can for the long ride out to camping at our rally!

also, you guys should come to our rally! it’s going to be epic!

My favorite part of your bike is the fender under your seat. Sexy!

It’s nice to see it as a roller. I know you say there isn’t much left to do, but speaking from personal experience, I can tell you that the little things can be overwhelming. ;)

yeah, but it’s a lot easier for me than it was for you, i think. i am building it in a moped shop and have access to all the tools and most of the parts i need (assuming i have the money for the parts!).. not to mention seattle is pretty resourceful as far as weird parts go. i think i have everything i need at hand, i just have to finish up the machining i need to do and get this thing together!
