★★★ 2ND ANNUAL RRB AUCTION BIKE ★★★

[FunkyStickman]

I'd like to pitch in. Not sure what I could help with, but I have stems, cranks, etc. if anybody needs 'em. I think garagegoon was doing the wheels? If you need help with that, let me know.

Looks like most of the major parts are accounted for, what about details, like a seat bag/cannister?

Just a sugestion why not use 3 crown forks like the artwork it would be easer to pull off the look. Easer to make the truss rodes brace back to the fork crown also.

I agree the forks previously shown are not the same look as the concept design. I unfortunately do not have a set of forks like those to put up otherwise I would. But I was wondering what kind of grips you were going for? I have a few sets all in pretty great shape. I am willing to help there if need be.

Dave: I've got the wheels stripped off the bike & removed the tires. PM me & let me know when you want them & I'll bring em to ya!

[XC204]

I have a 3 crown that I can weld on the required length steerer and trusses if you want.

ya know i just went back and looked at the picture ...i think a triple crown fork would b cool also ...would look like the ones on the bike alot more ...would prolly be easier for me 2 hook the rods 2 also ...but i thought we were going with the look of the fork in the 4th post top pic ...someone help me out on this ...LOL b4 GG sends me the orange forks ....MIKE

You wanted ideas and constructive criticism. ...Here ya go. You MUST have a TRIPLE crown fork, it's one of the major features in the illustration. It also has a "slight" bend to it. You'll notice the top of the tire is just even or slightly higher then the crowns....Now where can we get those forks bent, ever so slightly?

I agree with the triple crown fork, but maybe shortened not slightly bent... IDK... just my two cents.

I have this fork its a 3 crown looks like 4 in photo but thats the cap trim. Has enough length to lower about an inch just redrilling abnd cutting I need to weld a new steerer to it
I could bend if needed if you want I can set it up (weld Trim bend ) and send to mikesbikes or do the whole thing. Going to cut the tube tonight and sandblast it tommorow

I'm like'n that fork!

[mikesbikes36]

yep

[XC204]

Mike you want me to shorten and weld the steerer on and send it to you bare or in primer. any body know a tire oa diameter for the drop?

[garagegoon]

Ok... Ok.... All sounds good... I like that fork as well.... so...

XC204 donates the fork... does the little fix magic on it... send it to KOTA for slight bend work since that is his specialty... KOTA sends it to mikesbikes36 for kustom truss work since he called it first and I would like to see this kind of truss rods on the bike... Double Nickle makes the RRB plate and sends it raw to mikesbikes36 for final mounting... then the final product hits my shop for finnish and mounting to the bike.....

[XC204]

Cool all I need is : 1) Kota pm address to me.
2) Steerer tube length from bottom of lower race Dont forget truss rod bracket
3) do you want me to shorten by about an inch or have Kota do it after bend?
4) mike do you have a truss rod bracket? I have a schwinn and monark let
me know if you need one
should be able to ship it out by the end of the week.
