Starting to look like a bike

Yes the tires are flat, I just threw them on for looks. Also the fork still isn't finished, it's just sort of balanced there. I'm waiting for the postman to bring me some more pieces for my jig so I can finish it. I decided to leave it bare steel. I looked into it awhile ago and everyone says it's a bad idea but I was talking to Bruce Holt a few weeks ago and he mentioned how awesome it would be to leave it bare so I revisited the idea and I'm going for it. It'll be a little more work keeping it oiled but I'll be able to keep a closer eye on my welds (something I'm keenly interested in as this is my first build) and it really does look awesome. We'll see...
