Time for a new project. I had this frame and some pipe I bent just sitting around. I think I might go with this design. Time to do some cutting

Cool design. Is that a hairy shark fin in the foreground?!

Re: Time for a new project...
Got some of the pipes cut. Starting to take some shape.
Thinking about putting a metal plate. For now its just paper.

For the BB, I thinking between the bars that come up and down against the down tube.

Looks like its going to turn out sweet. I like the stance so far.

Re: Time for a new project...
since its not welded, care to indulge me?
what would the bike look like if you flipped the frame right side up? stuffed the lower pipe you bent into the head tube (if it were possible/still there)
ie- head tube sitting practically on the floor? (similar to the original frame inside my custom stingray frame)
front end would stay the same and the top bent pipe ending where the top of the seat post and frame cross. (just below the seat)
basicly just flip the rear end, and let the front (old head tube) hit the floor. just to try.
sorry i'm just not convinced bout the upside down frame..
(to each there own, more power to ya!)

Re: Time for a new project...
icyuod2, Thats the way this started off with the frame like you said. I like it that way but, I wanted to try something new. With the frame upside down, I'm getting that roll on the bottm that my I eye is looking for. Thanks for the info!
keep it real-

After a long day yesterday, I got everything cut and cleaned. Almost time to start welding! :lol:

And the line that gives to the bottom of the frame appeals to my eyes! Looking good! And in my personal preference, I like that you're using that kind of fork and not a triple tree.

Re: Time for a new project...
Frame is coming along. I got it all welded up! Time for some more mocking and cutting and welding. :lol:
These are just mock up wheels, I'm going to order some new ones I think. Or if I find some I like I'll take them apart and paint them up. I'm going to go with black no matter what.

Looks great, I like the lines and the stance! One question though, you'll be flipping the rear dropouts won't you?

Re: Time for a new project...
To Galtbacken & Dman: Thanks for checking out the build.
Galtbacken, Yeah going to change the drop outs. I been working on some new ones that i'll use. There a bit more heavy duty and will be a pull back style. I'll post some pics soon.
Keep it real~
