Re: "SNOT ROCKET"
Haven't done much in the last couple weeks. This weekend planning on extending steering tube, and fabricating the truss rods...............I'm kinda liking it "rusty", but I'll probably paint it. Seat's gotta be that height so I can ride it. So far it feels comfortable.

Re: "SNOT ROCKET"
FINNALLY got a chance to do some work on this thing. Front is done. Frame has been "blasted".Truss rods are made from 5/16 cold rolled steel bar stock, with an acorn nut welded to one end and a 1/4 inch steel washer welded to the other end. Still have to do some minor body work,then PAINT......................March 1st.....we'll see.

Re: "SNOT ROCKET"
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU SAID THAT!.........I've got ANOTHER identical frame, rust and all. I'm planning on making a "clone" to this bike, using a Bat mobile theme. I've been gathering the parts for a build later this year. I was going to do this bike, but with a name like "Snot Rocket", it's gotta be green. :lol:

Re: "SNOT ROCKET"
It looks like the bottom is bolted so that all you would ahve to do is remove the lower screws and than pop the whole truss assembly off.

Re: "SNOT ROCKET"
Thanks for the kind words, guys. Still trying to do the paint.
Stretch......it was "sand blasted", but those bearings were old ones, The heat from welding did them in first. I had to sacrifice a set to make sure everything was going to line up.

wow thats really sweet! i like the color combo, the dark green/brown/black. how comfortable are those rams horn bars? they look pretty sweet. :mrgreen:
This the most comfortable bike I've done, I didn't expect that. The riding position is like riding a "comfy" cruiser, except now I don't have to swing my leg higher then my shoulders to get it over the seat.stretch said:
Wow, that came out great! I love the stance, and the color combo.
Great job!
Great job!
Sweet... I dig this thing man!
