Re: "Jr Rat" fork Really Done

Time will tell :lol: seems like they want to compress straight with this amount of motion...
 
Re: "Jr Rat" fork Really Done

Got the frame sanded and painted . Assembled front end had to space out the springs a bit. Found some small grips at American Science and Surplus which is just down the road.

Re: "Jr Rat" Mini "Brooks"

Nice Job.!!! I like that you added the center stitch. All you need to do is incorporate some copper rivites along the lower back side to give that Brooks touch..
KOOL "Jr Rat""!!!!

Re: "Jr Rat" "Roller"

Got things together and other than pedals (which in this size are hard to find) and some maybe yellow and black checkerboard tape around the top tube near the seat. Brought it over to ny sons house last nite and sat little Alex on it and pushed him around all he would do is say "bike fun! bike fun" over and over at less than 2 he's still too short. Had to revamp the springs and add some extras inside the orig. ones and a guide bolt like Dr Tankenstien wondered.

Re: "Jr Rat" "Roller"

That is just to cool!! My little man is 3 years old, just the right size for this one!! :wink: Those forks are super trick! Wish I could find an old straight bar frame to build him one, seems hard to find anything smaller than a 20" awesome job on this one!! :D
 
Re: "Jr Rat" "Roller"

Machined some new spacers this morning that centered the springs and gave them a little more preload. Old spacer on right.Also got some pedals.The boy is still too short darn 20mo old kids are just too short!
