So, it’s back to the drawing board.
With all my other projects relegated to the storage unit, I was able to get Bultakenstein back to center stage and start tearing it apart. With the exception of steering head races, I’ve disassembled the bike as much as I can. At this point, I am starting over with a bare frame, pretty much from scratch.
Everything is strictly “opt-in.” I am going to re-evaluate every component choice from the frame up and not bias myself in favor of whatever configuration I’d come up with previously. None of my prior decisions are sacred.
I want to go back to my original inspiration: build a big-bore version of Bultaco’s final Metralla and Streaker designs, the company’s only cast-wheeled, disk-braked road bikes.
