Cycle truck. I couldn't remember that word to save my life today

Quick break to check my lines before it gets dark and it flows like water. Once I get the cargo rack attached to the frame out front with a case of whiskey on it it will make more sense. HD atom drum out front, HD red band kickback out back, I get the tire I want in the rear I think it will look exactly like a Ratrod krate delivery bicycle

Did you weld this yet?
How about a nice swooping downward bend in that down tube?

The downtube is a matched angle with that cross brace in the old frame so I am keeping it. Plus it's going to be an actual heavy duty cycle truck so

okay show me what you are thinking. If nothing else i can always build another frame I am always finding girls bikes
 
This was rated for 500 lbs so it should hold a case of beer, small keg, large person, most hogs whatever. I just have to hide the rest of it from Kate until I use it for sidecar parts

that split in the middle so It doesn't theoretically cover the headbadge

Well, it actually makes sense for it to be straight with that big square crate on the front
Thanks man. This weighs two and a half tons. In 1973 it wouldn't need a catalytic converter. I mean I did say cycle "truck". I mean it is in the name Franken"krate"
