I am pretty sure, I personally have never seen anything like this. The original chain ring was just a regular plan jane star, its my understanding if they put a offset in the frame to avoid the chain ring it was in the lengh of the stays not their placement on the bottom bracket. I did check my...

Bent Frame no...Poorly Built Frame yes So for the longest time I thought this frame was bent, it rode bad and always want to turn on you, it seemed like a dog chasing its tail. Well after some investigating I found this Chain stays on left of the bike 1/8" from the edge of the Bottom Bracket...

Re: U-Turn(name will not stick) Thanks Gerry, yeah lawn got mowed, but until the bike gets done ...well, that's a different story.

Well, Better late than never. I am echoing a lot of builders when I say this, but really wasn't planning on doing this time around. I wasn't motivated and really busy with work and since I promised my wife we would reclaim our backyard from the Dogs this summer, the funds are slim. Then I...

Thanks for the comments! Its was a really fun build. I was at the Denver Veloswap today and aquired a new headlight, so once I rewire it for LED it will be on the bike. Stay posted... Thats not a brake its a bell!, when you pull the brake lever and the bell behind the seat rings.

Re: The Way Out Suburbanite...Tank 1 Thanks for everyone's imput, I think I am going to stick with the original tank or tank 1. I did however figure a way to dress it up a bit so stay tuned for updates!

Re: The Way Out Suburbanite...Tank 1 or Tank 2? Thanks again for all the great comments, I think I am leaning towards tank 1, its simple and the I do like the Deco look of it, I did build tank 2 to tie in with the trailer, but it ended up looking like a fish imo :roll: Its about a 1/4"...
