I’m a little late to the party but here goes. I’ve wanted to build a gasser/dragster inspired bicycle for awhile so when my buddy posted this frame for sale I jumped on it. It’s a 60’s sears space liner with a rat trap fork. My plan was to run a 26x55mm rim with a Gerald slick on the back with a 29er front with a thick slick. Unfortunately the 29 was about a 1/4 inch to tall so i had to switch to a regular 26. Chop shop bars and a tandem mini nana seat. Going to cut the fender brace out of the top and bottom and widen the rear to fit the fat wheel/tire. Started today around 1 to get away from all the madness on tv. Here’s where I got so far. By the way “IKG” stands for I know Gomez.

Great parts mix! Love the fat slick in the back, which make / model is that? 26 er?
RaT oN~!
 
What are the others called? I would like to see their progress and didn’t see them when I went through the builds.

AWESOME to see you in this year man! I've always liked those funky "7" liner consoles.
Great mix of the Sulky and the ThickSlick. And the Chad bars are killer!
This is gonna be fun.
 
I love this build! The combination of that pointed nose extension, the correct springer with the flipped rockers, and those cool bratstyle bars, all work aesthetically together in an incredible way! I have always loved this frame design, but it is a middleweight bike that won't hold a wider tire, so there are limitations. But your solution of tire selection is perfect (especially with that front slick) and makes it all fit in those narrow rails! Slam a small seat back and down on that rear tire and you will nail that front-to-back flow line for which I attempt to achieve every one of my builds! Absolutely beautiful! My favorite build so far!

Thank you sir. To make the rear fit I had to cut the bridges out and open the rails up. I’m loving how it’s looking so far..

Well I had some time today to work on the “IKG” tank. Trimmed the excess off and Ruffed it in with dyna-glass. Next I’m going to reinforce the backside with more fiberglass , straighten the seem line and get the final bodywork done..

Nice work!!! Guess you could say this build has a Heart of Glass.
