    UNLIMITED Falstaff's Revenge

    That makes me lean forward, I can't ride like that. But I did flip the bars, that just makes it feel like I'm trying to pedal a wheelbarrow.

    UNLIMITED 2-2-1

    I used the rack from one of these for my chopper. Makes a good base for engine mount. Seat absolutely makes sense.

    Looks weird with the apostrophe, but if it bothers you that much...

    UNLIMITED Falstaff's Revenge

    I had to move it back and shorten the crank arms to be able to pedal without my legs going straight out.

    UNLIMITED Falstaff's Revenge

    I built a no weld version about 13 years ago. I don't remember the front being quite this heavy. But I do remember, after getting used to riding it that I didn't need the handlebars to steer, just used my legs. This one feels different all together, but I'm getting the hang of it.

    UNLIMITED Falstaff's Revenge

    Yeah. The first try ended with a scape on the knee. With the cruiser bars and the pedals were to far away, and leg went straight. Couldn't hold the front end. I moved the triangle up, and shortened the crank arms, now it's just about perfect. But that front end is heavy, still have to get used...

    Those spring forks can mess you up.

    Come on down anytime. The rams horns just don't feel right, regardless how they tilt. The apes have a comfort to them that feels right.

    UNLIMITED Falstaff's Revenge

    Thought I might go all Kingfish on the handlebars, but realized I only have cruiser bars, 2 apes, and one rams horn. So only 2 pictures. I think that covers the basic part of the build. Just have some final welding and create the saddle, then blow it apart for paint. No idea how I'm going to...

    UNLIMITED Falstaff's Revenge

    In order to ride this thing properly, I need short crank arms. Unfortunately, the only 5" crank I have is on this old Roadrunner. But it's not giving up the ghost. So. Onto the trash pile for this old Murray crank, and a vist from the cut off wheel.

    I'm sure I'm not the first to say it. But let me know if you ever want to get rid of that black one. Looks euro motorbike.

    Interesting. Maybe I will put a cow catcher on the front... Maybe.

    Not so much MBB, I don't think. My plan is to make the triangle a part of the fork, so bottom bracket should be fixed. Still working on the design.

    UNLIMITED Falstaff's Revenge

    I said I didn't plan to get involved in another build off, due to my lack of desire to document these things. Yet, here I am. That said. I lack a name for this thing, but given my schizophrenia, I thought naming it after my old moniker was ok. Anyway. Random green bike I found a few weeks ago...

    Anybody sniffing BO 19 in the air?

    If you didn't take pictures of your mock up, or don't intend to show any pictures you may have taken, it's irrelevant. Before you asked about it, you were the only one who knew.
