Woohoo. Been moving slow today, but I have plans for a stretched double bar.

Gonna cut up this old western flyer that I broke the frame on last fall.

Stretch the bars, expand the dropouts, etc

Thanks @Glen I know you and @Funkme were ready to start hours before I awoke today. Just happened to log on and see @"Rat Rod" had just setup the pages Thanks, BTW
Love that Flyer frame !
Two people told me they thought it was a flyer. The last time I built up the frame, I had a roadmaster badge that would fit. So I guess it switched brands once ;-)

I took an old lugged firestone donor frame that matched on od and almost on thickness and did a chop job on it.

I did some measuring and cutting and roughed in the shape.

Will box in the extended chain stays as I figure out the hub width that I want.

Didn't you make bar plugs out of poker chips once before? I thought I saw it here on RRB.

Good start, if I am correct did you not build that frame in another build-off? But it looked much pwerty before.Gee you must ride hard to break em...:giggle:

Yes, I used that frame in another rusty buildoff. Double Bar Denim. Then swapped into a offroad bomber for a bit.

When I broke this one It was on the mountain taking more use and abuse than I shoulda been dishing out.
