Bike Build, Frame from Yeshoney....

[BIGpantBOB]

Hello Everyone,

Started working on this bike this past weekend. Yeshoney gave me the frame, rims, and seat for the bike this past summer. I decided to start building it to have it done for the Monson swap this coming weekend.
I am not sure of the frame brand or anything. I have been just using what I have around the garage to piece it together and make it work. The front fork is off a 26" Rampar that I have laying around. The bars are modified BMX bars off a scooter with three inch "way to big OD" Extension tubes. The trusses where just made from shelving cross bracing that I had laying around and welded onto a steering head spacer. The big thing now is getting tires for it. I have some on order from Niagra bike. Can't wait to take it for a ride. I will hopefully have it done this week and will post the finished pictures. Enjoy.

BPB

Looks fantastic Bob!!! Nice job improvising unusual objects for use. Truly rat. The spacer on the fork tube is my favorite.

ya Bob, you had me at the square spacer, and those flat stock trusses put me over the edge. great beater.

I can't wait to see where this goes!

That neck looks like it came from an 80's Murray BMX. Be careful -- mine cracked right on the weld.

I'd love to see that truss set-up turn into some sort of home-made springer.
