You know how your first impression is the best?
Went back to the original height.
The bike just feels 'right' at this setting. There's no wheel flop and it feels better from the driver's seat.
I should have gnome better.......
Cheers all,
See ya in a week!

With those fork tubes cut to the right length, it should look pretty mean!

Gotta love the feel

Exactly, I can appreciate a cool looking bike, but if it doesn't feel or fit right....it won't get ridden, ya know?
From a looks perspective, I like the front 3/4 front view. The rear tire looks fat, the frame looks good, the fork looks good.
Just my opinion, but then again, it's my bike.....

Rob! Looks great! September came too fast! I forgot about the Build off! If you need the garage or an extra stand, I'm here!
Great build!
Great build!
Still plenty of time left 10cent! Jump on in, 3 and a half months to go...

You could still go for a 20x1-3/8" wheel and adjust the fork length to keep the appropriate balance just to get that look. But it looks good as it stands as well!

I've had this silly sized wheel and tire for 6 years and FINALLY found a build for it! Hahahahahahaha
You're right though, a 20" might look cool on there.
I'm kinda watching my budget on this one though. Since the frame is crusty chrome, I think it's best to get it sandblasted to get the best painting results. I also need to cough up cash for the 'Rail' decals for the chainguard and seatpost, replacement top tube end caps, shifter parts, etc.....
Enjoy the week everyone!

Budget? What is that?
I'm working a deal for an entire second Rail just so I can swap a few parts on it.
Cause me no weld-y mostly....If you're going class 2 why not add a 15 or 20 degrees of rake to stretch it out?
