If you ever want to duplicate any of my builds.....take one of my posted pics and borrow one of those projectors that blows a picture on a wall. Then just keep enlarging it till the wheel size is a 26'' . Then tape some large paper on the wall and trace out the frame. Then just bend and weld matching you tracing. Really simple to copy a bike.Gdcast said:
Its going to look pretty good I hope . Thanksballroomwrecker said:

Thanks alot. I decided this morning to weld the BB on. I got finished and looked ....after measuring a bunch and I had it in closer to one side.EEEkk!!! I did find out my welding holds really good. Anyway I cut it back off and put another one on. Figured it was one of those days to go back inside and watch westerns.
I swear I couldn't think of the term overhead projector for the life of me. :roll: :roll: :roll:
Very sweet bike, I love it!! I like the idea of the added bar off of the TT for the seat. Did you consider extending the frame over the rear tire like a "fender"? I think it would look pretty cool and it might "nestle" the seat in the dip a little more.
I saw your photobucket and got really depressed. I somehow thought I could build a frame . People like you and Kenny P are so far above the rest of us its unbelievable. You have the skills. I figure that your dad must own a fab shop , because you didn't pick up your skills working at McDonalds. :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
I bent an all around the tire tube that looked like a fender , but couldn't ever seem to make it work , without doing a long low rear bend around the back tire to catch it at the bottom. If that makes any sense. If I go any lower with the seat It will be too short on the length to the pedals. Would look better though.

woo hoo I'm on the list!! Someday we'll work together on a build. That will be fun.
I wonder how much shipping will be on a 8 foot long frame that will hold 300 lbs? :shock:
Thanks Skipton I do appreciate it.Skipton said:
The work together is funny, but we will see.thatismytruck said:Uncle Stretch said:

Ooooh the red looks good!
Lookin' good 8)
Hey thanks yall. I thought I would give Steve a little free advertising . :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Maybe I will get some free parts. :lol: :lol:
Thanks Mark. This one will take a little longer than normal...got to cover a seat and then come up with some fork that will complement the build.
Never thought about shrinking one by making the wheels 20'' size, but it would work. The entire size of the bike would be reduced. :shock:
Well its getting closer. I figured out I forgot to weld a tab for a kick stand.EEEKKK!!! Oh well I will come up with something. :roll: :roll:
