gotta cut the forks down......still gathering parts but I think I'll find what I need.
 
Re: Battle Rat

i really like the way that frame looks.
 
Re: Battle Rat

its kind of like a reverse spaceliner.I really wish i didnt cut the seat tube down though...
 
Re: Battle Rat

Looking good. I considered using mine in the build off, but I like the Roadmaster a little more.

If the top of the seat tube is a problem, I'll trade you frames if you get the postage. Just the bare frame, my forks are bent.

don't second guess yourself, it looks good cut.
notch it between the bars, and throw a clamp on it (just under the top bar) if your worried about having ajustability. a 90* layback would look slick.

Re: Battle Rat

Sweet man!! cant wait to see more! :D :mrgreen:
 
Re: Battle Rat

Hey Mark its lookin Good! let me know if you need a seat post welded up.
 
Re: Battle Rat

It should be fairly easy to make up a seat post with a wedge if yours is missing, just angle a cut on a standard seat post and use a wedge and bolt from a handlebar stem.
