The Sonic neck tapered roller bearings conversion - in progress

I don't like ball bearings very much and the fork axle have seen better days.. so to kill two bird with one stone the easyest thing to do is to make a new fork axle to match new tapered roller bearings.

The Sonic rear wheel disassembling

In order to clean and check the rear wheel I've taken it apart


  
But now I'm thinking about making a new light-weight/rust-free aluminium wheel hub...

Road trip

The first 150km on your self builded machine have no price!




Sisters?

The Proto-Moto and the Thruxton side by side
The Proto looks like Thrux's little sister...how small she is!

The Sonic bench



Thanks to Michele who has built this simple but very effective bike bench.
He is also the first owner of the Sonic!

It is a little too clean for a workshop... but it won't last long.
Looking at the first picture I think this is almost the right position for the front wheel. 
I need to find a way to lower the front a bit... any ideas?

Post-atomic chase

Shinya is obviously playing the bad guy here...

..or maybe not...


Nomad

Almost ready to take everything apart on this one too. Hopefully.  If I don't come up with some last minute overcomplicated stupid idea ...
