There is a reason I called this bike the Hater, it's because I hate it. I am going to use my 1 frame swap allowance. The hater has been on the shelf for two years so a little more won't hurt it.

My new frame is new school. It's my very first bike I ever posted here, a Nerve Kilroy. I am going for the same silhouette but this will be new school it may be a hot in the foot, but it will bring new idea and style to RRB for sure.

I like new ideas, bring it out.

OMG, step on the gas pedal hard and watch that engine jump right out of the car!

Re: New School (Frame Change)

I'd just remove the rear bridges completely.
Unless you need them for fender mounts.

Watching while M.I.A. in Southeast Asia.
 
Re: New School (Frame Change)

Even with them being very rigid, imagine the forces of riding this bike and leaning into a turn. Without the additional bracing they would have a tendency to sway, steel is forgiving, but it could cause rubbing.
 
Re: New School "WE Have Fat Bike"

The old bait and switch I see .... :wink: Did the same to a steel huffy frame sticking a nexus 4 in it, tried to do the "plug" thing but ending up welding flat stock to it instead.
 
Re: New School "WE Have Fat Bike"

Cool 8). I was initially looking for a set of Black Floyds for my build, but they were gonna cost me over $300 for the pair in Australia :shock: . Thought about it for a while, then decided against it.

Re: New School "Jacked It Up"

You could rob the BB off an OCC StingRay. The rear on those is wider than what I think you're trying to squeeze into your frame, that BB would definitely be wide enough.

I'm lovin' this build so far, keep it up.

I still have to account for the 78mm wide bottom bracket. Most fat bikes take a 100mm bottom bracket to clear the fat tire. I can tell you that the cranks hit the frame now and I have to get new ones, but which ones?
Thats in the next class :wink: that is why it's called new school.

Mountain bike cranks usually are well offset. Then just take off the smaller rings.
