The project begins!

Welcome to the blog I've started to help document my first attempt at building a bobber motorcycle. I've been wanting to do something like this for a while but only recently taken the plunge. Things are moving along quite quickly at the moment with recent the recent purchase of a '49 Triumph Speedtwin Frame from Pete at Eattherich who rather handily lives around 40 minutes from me.

The frame more recently belonged to the chopper in the last pic. God help me if it ends up looking anything like this.

The frame at some point had been treated to a stretch in the rear which should help give the bike a lower and longer look when the girder forks are added. A couple of fancy peices have also been added which I quite like the look of.

The forks were also bought from Pete and I believe Indian 'Norton' copies.
