Here is the begining of Rat one... I used inch and a half tube for the main frame, then canabalized two old bmx bikes for front and rear... overall length so far 7 foot 11inches tip to tail and 5 inches off the ground

now I am working on some more accents for the frame... more pics to come soon

Thats Cool!!...how tall are you?????

I am 6 foot 2 and a half inches tall... how I established the length for this bike was by placing an out streached tape on the floor and finding out how far from the center of my but to a not fully extended leg ...then just some rough measurements to establish the frame layout..

Ah yes, educated guesswork I love to use that method. Awesome looking bike man.

I used the same method on my first bike and forgot to account for the crank arm length. I put the BB where I measured and the crank arm added 6 inches. It was soooo close to being too long. Just don't make the same mistake I did! lol
