I've got a piece of 2x2x1/4 to make a headtube ,need to find enough for a gooseneck though. I'm still in engineering phase of chassis so it may end up being pipe instead of square tubing(my trademark). :thumbup:

I already used pipe on forks so I may continue that trend. :ninja:

nothin' now . wheels can be up to 8" exact. 8 and 1/8" fork spacing. It'll be awhile though, maybe spring. I have had my 2nd frame done for months but it ain't finished yet. We need to figure out what you are gonna use for a seat. nylon web? cordura? peace out :thumbup:

Wind is forecasted to pick up from the SE this afternoon. If it does and I can convince the Boss that kiting half of Saturday and all of Sunday is a good idea then I might be at Grandview around 3 or 4. I'll post again later on today if I'm on my way out there.

Damn. I wouldnt be able to make it. Soonest I could get there would prob be 5 or so

I did have a nice little session yesterday with the Ace at Ocean View. Winds were about 3-4 and man that Ace flew sooo smooooth

Thats exactly what I wanted a larger kite for, days that little Beamer wouldnt go up.

That would have been perfect for kiteboarding. Oh well...going to OBX tomorrow and the forecast is looking pretty good.
