looks great :mrgreen: !! been thinking of chopping up a cantilever frame for the bottom curve and doing the 2 top tubes like that! btw did you bend those or were they from a girls frame?

 

[schwinnmesa]

Very Cool bike!

dang COOL DUDE!! I had to go back & fourth between the pics to see all you did.

removed top tube
cut off 2 or 3 inches from the seat tube
cut and bent seat stays to match new top tube...

still need to modify the chain stays so the tire will fit...

No joke. That is one of the coolest straight bar frames I have seen. Great mod. Now make one with a MTB frame and start selling "Vintage Boardtrack Frames"

[oldgreenbean]

I do not mean to dog on anyone that likes that kind of bike,but you really took something that I would have never looked at & made it cool.I hate those kind of bikes.Just not my style,but now!! TOOOO Cool!!!

 

[Hooch]

these cool bike conversions are gonna slow down midwest sales of vintage frames! lol

 

[ratdaddy]

excellent job matching the angle of the seat stays with the top tube. Do you have a tube bender or are you supernaturally awesome?

[october]

no tube bender,
just supernaturally awesome... :lol:

just kidding...

i bend using my own brute strength, and a tree next to my driveway...
go to http://www.chopperbicycle.net./ and search the forum for Marty Eden's bending method...

i also did the bends on this bike the same way:
