Peoples Champ Frame 5 frame Progress- Cradle

Last major part of the frame to fabricate was the cradle 'gussets'. We used a forge to evenly heat the 1/4" plate steel and then shaped it out over the same die that was used to bend the downtube to ensure the correct shape.

After the gussets were tacked onto either side 7/16th round rod was bent to shape on the edges to give it more detail.

It will all stayed tacked together until i layout the foot controls and where they will mount. Once sorted out it will all get welded together.
