i got the chance to buy a in germany called "blade" frame and fork for a few bucks... a frame wich is famous for its bad welding and accuracy... and its a copy of the firebike fluid frame in normal tubes...
you may know that iam 1,92m (6' 4" ) tall so a chinese frame is way to small for me!... and i wanted to let it look different...because here in germany its common to put in fat rims and paint it black :?
thats how it arrived at my home...
still looking good... now lets take a closer look...
...had to sandblast it...
...much better...
i had some ideas...
using a Zündapp Bergsteiger Fork...
or using the fork that came with the frame... but give it the look of a girder fork (ONLY THE LOOK!)
so the day of welding came near...
preparing the fork for a shortening of 3.5 cm...
the rear is stretched for the use of 4" rims (100mm) and the frame is 25cm (10") longer tha before..
the rims on the pics are 3" but i needed some for the buildup.. and my rims are not laced at the moment...
...the fork is still in process so i took the "Zündapp Bergsteiger" first... to try frame height and length...
WILL CONTINUE!!!
