's'up guys,
This is a longer term build, and if I play my cards right, it should turn out to be just about the most ...... thing on 2 wheels. At least that's the aim. :wink:
I'm doing the inverted thing for the front part of the frame - an aluminum Mongoose, with a strechted out wheelbase, but not cruiser style, more like drag bike. I'm going aggro on the positioning. The front wheel will be a 24" with disc brakes, a Zoom triple fork from a 26" bike, and a reg 26" rear wheel. I don't know that I'll make it full suspension in the rear: I may just put tubing where there was once a coilover. This one should carry through to next spring, so patience is key! :mrgreen:
The stem is a tad short... I may go to some sort of fork clamps for stubbies like I've seen around here before. The fork legs are massive, though - 1.5" dia!!
Now this fellas going to bed.
Peace!
