So recently I picked up Elgin long tank frame tank crankset and I'm now getting ready to start it up. Yesterday at work I wasn't busy and had a great idea to make me a drop stand. Text a fellow caber to get some rough dimensions off one of his stands for a little reference. When I got home I bolted it down and realized it was a little tall and the edge of the stand wouldn't catch the ears. Although it would work I decided to make a little engineering change and now it turned out pretty good! As for the rest...couple days ago i bought a lot of a girls bike to get my project rolling. Anxiously waiting for there arrival but here is where I'm at as of now!

The fork is one item I did buy it will need to have some threads added and cut down. I personally have never done this so maybe I could get some help. Does anyone know the correct dye that I will need to make this happen??? As far as the threads go??

Here's a few pics of the first drop stand i made and then the new and improved one:) thanks for looking guys

Received most of the parts for the build. Taking them to work tomororw and stripping the house paint off. Waiting on the truss rods an a few other little parts. Still have to shorten the fork and add threads. Then I'll go from there:) ended up getting the rack as well, but I don't think I'll be using it :/
 
Like that style bike! Keep us posted, as I would like to see the improvements that you make.

Still have some stripping to do. But most is off for now. Still have to cut down the fork which has been fun trying to find a die. My truss rods should here soon I hope! Until then I'll ponder about what the heck I'm going to do with the paint. Maybe just a clear and be done. Lol. Who knows.
 
It does. And I'm waiting for my truss rods. I have a buddy that says he has a die. If he doesn't find it I'm just going to order one off of eBay.

I lack patience though :/
