RRBBO13 Juggernaut (delayed...)

[V8Ben]

Hi !

Here is the basis for my first Buid Off... An old frame started some years ago, but never finished !
Now it's time to conclude this story

(Click for full screen)

Beside that, I grabbed an incomplete JC Higgins fork (not sure but I think so?... ).
Mixed with an old sissy-bar... Think it should do the trick

It only remains for me to collect missing parts and assemble all that...

And for the name of this project... Well, sheet metal plates, exposed welds, sharp curves, wide rear bases,... It gives an "armored" style that makes me think to a "Mad Max" machine
In Hindu mythology, the Juggernaut is a tank that nothing stops and crushes everything in its path... Hope the result should be enough "fat" to honor this name

Stay tuned

I like the Mad Max vibe!

Welcome to RRB and the build off fun. Cool frame. Love that fork idea.

I also like what you're doing with the fork. I have the same fork at home (complete) in case you need some pictures or measurements. Just make sure the sissy bar is strong since that is a structural piece, especially if you run a tall enough tire to bottom out if it collapses.

Wow! It's living up to it's name already!

I'm thinking some really fat rims and tires on this bad boy.
RaT oN ~!

Yep, wide rims and fat tires are planned... But I need to verify the clearance of the fork before validating the width

Great ! I'm interested in a pic of the complete fork if you have time
But I think the assy that I expected is reversed compared to original one

And yes, I'll strengthen the sissy to be sure it doesn't bend !!!

That thing's a beast

Many thanks for these pics
Don't worry for the hanging up, I've the same storage in my garage

So it's ok, I didn't make mistake when reinstalling bases.
And I thought it was the same system as other forks (like Columbia, other JC Higgins or Hawthorne) but maybe it's not a reversed fork?...

Welcome a board the crazy train ...
That frame is a beast !

That's quite a frame, looking forward to seeing a completed bike.

These came on Murray built bikes, but Murray built bikes came with lots of names.

The front truss suspension rods are supposed to cross over the fork backwards to form an X and the rockers would be on the opposite sides.

Ok thanks for these informations

 

[V8Ben]

Dig out the thread for some news...
I don't have much to show... But until the parts arrive, I looked for a solution to modify the rear ends of the frame... And I think I found it
To make you wait, here are two pics of machines which I'll inspire for the build

Frame should work great for that look.

 

[Captain Awesome]

Good inspirational photos!

 

[HuffnPuff]

Loving the style. Can't wait to see the results.

I'd love to see a mockup.
