I tried that other build, but just a little into it ,I looked and it was turning out to look like a BMX so I turned my bandsaw loose on it ,and negated it to the scrap pile.
I have a 40's Rollfast and I love that it has a really long tank that extends past the seat post. I took the tank off and decided to build a frame that would utilize the long tank and look a little cooler too. So here is the start.
I decided to use the bent seat post , so it wouldn't turn out looking so stock. On this one I'm using the same 1'' tubing that is 14 ga. Good stuff. I built a small clamp so I can see where the back tire goes ,where building the drop outs is easier. Now you can have an elaborate jig , but a small piece of angle with a hole drilled in it does just fine.
Once I got close , then I did a little mockup to make sure it looked ok
So then its on to the building the drop outs. I went with simple . Ok the rear triangle is just tacked , but it lets you see where you are going. Hope yall enjoy so far
