Gender bender stretch

[MarksA-C]

*added the before pic*


Someone take the tools away from me! I had a schwinn girls frame hanging up in my garage and I just couldn't keep the grinder away. Added about 7" of stretch.
I didn't set up a jig or anything so the frame is a few degrees off...but thats the joys of working with metal. You can cut and re-weld it as many times as you need.

I am planning on making a version of a boardtrack racer. I'm 6'3 so this should be long enough now...

Re: Gender bender stretch started

I have found a long piece of 3'' angle iron clamped from the neck to the seat post tube ,hold things pretty straight. Clamp the point out from the tubes ,where you have two places touching at each spot....If that makes sense. :wink: Those bed frames that are under your mattress work good.

gahh! I actually have about 5 frames worth of scrap laying behind the garage.

Re: Gender bender stretch (Ridable)

Well, after a long day of working, this is how it sits now. Its ride-able and goes pretty good.

Yeah! That stretch is downright sick! I'd like to see it in flat black.

Well, I don't know how to finish this bike. A boardtrack style racer? A streched classic? Or should I just throw on a 3hp briggs with clutch and go from there? :mrgreen:

Classic

Boardtrack

 

[ElChupacabra]

It's easy to suggest since I don't have to do the work but this is what I saw as potential. Move the BB to the center of the bike.

Going for the motorized bike. Me and engines
Planning to run a 3hp briggs that I brought back from the dead(Seized) and a clutch/jackshaft running a second sprocket on the rear wheel. A lot of stuff to get and build.

This is my second motorbike build so I am going to go full out on building this. Brakes, supports, the whole 9 yards!

The pic is a few days old, had some big changes since then

I've done a bit of work on the bike and I hope to have it rideable (Engine) before the snow flys! :shock:

Gave my angle grinder a workout today!

You can see the size difference. I am going to pull the torque converter off of the mini-bike and put it on the bike. Its going to fly! Now maybe I can beat that guy with the 80cc bike down the street! :lol:
