Thought i might as well enter my Z, Since ive heard of one or two more allmost entering. I have no idea if i will be able to do what i want to before the deadline. Im probably going to sell it when im done, because that was my plan in the first place with this bike.

So anyways, heres the bike, Awesome frame.
(forks on wrong :D)

That frame is great. Green goes good with purple too. Check out Indian Larry's Voodoo Chili. Purple tank with green flames.

Re: Z-Forcefull one-Lastpicupdate-2/23

the little bend on the drop out is the problem right? if so get a BIG (at least 1' long)crescent wrench,snug it down have some one hold (or you could clamp it in a vice......just put some wood in there so you dont crush the tubing)the front of the frame and bend it back!

Thanks!
I have no access(unless i bring it to school-tech class) To a Vice
So the wrench idea sounds really good right about now
 
Re: Z-Forcefull one-Lastpicupdate-2/23

oh.i meant clamp the front of the frame in the vice to keep it from turning........but another person will work almost as well
 
Re: Z-Forcefull one-Lastpicupdate-2/23

This will be a fun build. Dropouts, either a big cresent wrench or pipe wrench. No need to worry about perfect alignment.

The Dia Compe Bulldog is a great brake. Lots of adjustment for different frames.
 
Re: Z-Forcefull one-Lastpicupdate-2/23

I've been wanting to do something like this for a while! There's a bunch of different department-store BMX bikes that have a Stingray-inspired curved-bar frame, and I've always wondered how one would look converted with a banana seat... looking forward to seeing how this turns out...

Re: Z-Forcefull one-Lastpicupdate-2/23

Started sanding down the frame last weekend
Ran out of primer so i couldnt primer it.

My uncle told me to get some yellow paint when im done, and do pinstriping...Now i gotta find me a swordbrush thingy
 
Re: Z-Forcefull one-Lastpicupdate-2/23

Mack makes a good striping brush. There about $12.
