I haven't been building to many bikes lately but I have wanted to build this one for years now,plus I need a bad to the bone beer runner

A few days later and I got it rolling

I made some bars for it but I like the way the boardtracker style feels

That's low!

Yep, way to low and the rake is ridiculous but it's cool,

Wow! Looks awesome!
Any flex from that one tube design?

Yep it's all over the place but I Wana get cranks on it before I add more steel, It won't turn for nothing but I'm hopping when I get pedals on it will ride ok,I was worried about up and down flex but it has massive side to side movment

Good to know! I guess any hard turns would also bottom out the frame at the front too?

Well yeah, but only if I turn at a 45, and if I do that I will post pics from the hospital

Well, that answers the age old question of "how low can you go?" I would nickname it the 'Limbo Bike'. You could fab a steering dampener from a small shock to help smooth out some of that wheel flop. At least if you tip over after your beer run, you won't have far to fall.

That's good idea,thanks man!

No problem, it'd look cool even if it doesn't 'fix' the problem. What happened to www.Jonsbigbikes.com, the link doesn't seem to work...

I love this, it ticks all of my boxes: ridiculously low, ridiculously slack, ridicolously tall apes...
I'd just raise the saddle abit and put two more tubes to make a rear triangle and avoid that flexyou talk about...
Also, flipping your fork legs 180° should help with the wheel flop

Keep on the good work!

I think I need to and a some more tube ! If I flip the fork legs I will be way to low even if I extend the legs all the way out

Ya or na ?

That tank doesn't flow quite right with the frame, maybe an old school chopper style coffin or diamond tank.

I could fab a coffin tank pretty easily and it would look way better,thanks man! That's two great ideas from this fourm, thanks
