This just seems a little bit illegal....

Its been discussed already. It's really not a big deal. Widening the stays is ok.

If your profile remains the same, I think you are okay. You may be stretching the rules a bit though. It may be best to throw this out on the discussion board for review.

Already did. A few posts back^^ I quoted what "Yoothgeye" had said in the discussion thread.
I really don't want any negative controversy here. I'm just wanting to build it the right way. I didn't want to bend the stays to make them wider...

My inspiration is coming from the 24" Firestone I built for my son. I just love it, and I can never get enough of it. I always told my boy that one day I'd build its bigger brother so we can cruise the sidewalks together. If all goes well.. LACKLUSTER may just look like this:

Flat frickin wicked,one of the coolest bikes I have ever seen,I mean it man--wicked

HOLY SMOKES!! Are you serious? Wow, thank you. Thats a huge compliment! Like I said before, I'm even in love with the Firestone.. and i built it! Its the only bike that get parked inside the house because I can never get enough of it.. Hence the reason its my inspiration for BO-7. Thanks again!!

I'll just show the final product. My Jerald 2.125s fit this frame now...

Looks as factory as can be, just a little wider now (3/4"). No big deal.... Time to move on to slicing & dicing a fender.

No kidding man, If you didn't show us I don't think anyone would have known the difference Nice clean job !!!

Thank you!! It felt good to actually braze back together what I had taken apart. I try to document everything.

Beautiful work! Looking great.

What size are the Jeralds anyway? We put a pair of blackwall 26x2.125? on the auction bike this year. They ride really nice also.

Yep the ones I bought are the same size. Good to know they ride well! I love em & they look pretty cool too! Im a little unsure about putting one on the front... My other thought was to go with something smaller & round - like 1.75 or 1.95.

A guy with a grinder in his hand and lots of sparks. That's the way it should be!

Oh, I wouldn't worry about the frame widening. I think the rules also say that only yellow bikes with checkerboard seat tubes can win anyway.
