Here's a pic of the bottom frame mount. It looks really nice.

As you can see from my last pic, the bike is mostly together. I've actually had the seat and all the plastic on it and everything seems to be lined up well. Of course, I won't know for sure till I ride it. Hopefully it will track straight and not have any shakiness...

I'll take your word for it...as it's not the best pic to tell.
Kwackerman:
Here's a pic of the head stay. I don't know what George used to make this thing, but it's really trick.

first offyou can buy that hose from your local autozone, I bought one after somebody on here posted it up, it was a member that did the work and found the hose, unfortunately I can't remrmber the part number but as I recall it was a gates hose.
I will also say that the first AF framed bike I did was similar to your frame rails, I will caution you to watch them very closely because they will break, after the second time I gutted it, bent all new frame rails using radiused tubing and gusseted both the top and bottom. I would not do it that way again. since then I have completed 5 more and haven't had an issue with breakage, just my .02
I will look to see if I can find a number for the hose
Kwackerman:
Here's a look at here from yesterday, from the back left side.
