That is looking quite sexy.
This what I love about build threads, seeing things take shape and wondering what the next set of pictures will bring.

Re: Half a Romeo
Thanks Guys
the idea at moment is tack all together well and see what front dose when on its own wheels, I then have 3 options, i can break tacks on headstock and move, OR i can make some slab yokes up on miller with angle built in, OR i can make a set of springers, nothing is finally decided yet, other than im not making another large tube 3 is enough

Re: Half a Romeo
My advice is to build it using telescopic forks, set the rake & trail at what should work and try it, that way you have a better chance of finishing it before you run out of enthusiasm. Ask me what a 3 year rebuild feels like....
