The Orange Project: from rear to front

For the front wheel spoke conversion I've found a pretty solid rim and hub from a dirt bike. 

Yes, it's a rear wheel, but the rim width was perfect for the occasion.

The hub was the problem, too big and a bit ugly to fit the forks, so I decided to work it a little removing the unnecessary bits and shaving the rest.

After a little polishing it's time for the reassembling.

 Now it looks the part!

New bearings and test fit. Looking good!

Next: a new wheel rod

New Plan B headquarter

There is a reason behind these two-weeks-radio-silence,

I've moved all the bikes and stuff in a new place. 

Actually, I moved the workshop about 50 meters top, and the new space is only slighty bigger than the other one, but it has its own door, so...

New workshop/Old mess!

There still are boxes and bags all around, but it feels like home already!

Now back to work!

New project on its way for Mr. D.

It's hard to belive they are almost the same bike...

What about a new front end?
