Nah mate it's all good. I do appreciate the help. that would have truly sucked if i'd started building it. the frame checks out though i've got a full scale print out and key points match up really well against the bike i have now. i just hope i can get hold of these surly wheels. i wont be...

ok so i based the frame around the tires that i wanted. but not knowing enough about the way tires are measured i've made a fairly large mistake. Thanks Uncle Stretch, i probably would have started fabricating soon if you hadn't pointed this out. i will have to scale the frame down to suit the...

Here are some approximate measurements.

Uncle stretch, i was a little worried about that and i can extend the seat post, but it's a lot bigger than it looks. From where the seat will be to the bb is 22" and my legs aren't massive. Galtbacken, i love those old bikes, definitely a future project! might pass on the rubberbands though...

Hey Guys. I'm new to the bike building scene. I'm designing a ride from scratch and I've hit a bit of a brick wall. I don't want to go any further with the drawings until I've sorted out exactly what rims and hubs I'm going to get to fit the tire I want. So here's my problem, I want the Electra...

Wow.... Wow! Incredible work!

Hi Guys and Gals. My name's Stu, I'm in Australia and I'm 22. New to the Rat Rod scene. Don't know much, learning a lot. Loving every minute of it! Always wanted to build my own bike but never knew where or how to get started. I'm learning how to weld to help my dad restore a car and I thought...
