Step 8: FRAME STICKS and Setup.

Using a plumb bob and level I set up my frame so the handle bars are 22.5" horizontally from the back edge of the CROSSBEAM and 32" vertically. I would prefer to have them a few inches higher. Next time maybe 35". I attached the FRAME STICKS to the CROSSBEAM with epoxy mixed with wood dust and some small bits of fiberglass cloth over that.

I attached them at the front to the EYEBOLT with a HINGE LASHING.
I did mine with some string covered with bicycle innertube.
