Here is my project that I am starting today. I picked the Manta Ray up for 20 bucks at a swap meet and it is brand new, the pedals are even still wrapped in plastic. The guy that had it chopped off the head tube and lost the forks so I had an old 26 inch Ross woman's bike in the garage that donated the head tube and the forks. The forks will be modified to work with the 24 inch front rim and tire that I bought from the classifieds on here. I also had an old rusted out Roll Fast that I got for free when I bought my VW so that donated the rear section. Hoping to make some progress today with it. It will be basically be a bunch of parts from a bunch of different bikes.

Cool starting point...

One day I'm going to do this to my OCC bike...Exile Cycles does this style...Add the same wheel in the front as the rear, and mount a disc brake on the front and back...maybe a "SpRotor" 8) Sprocket/Rotor

Exile Motorcycles are one of my favorite bikes out there in the sea of custom builders. So clean and simple looking. I would never ride because I live in So Cal and see road carnage almost every day. But I would have one just to collect and look at. Works of Art.Of course I would have to have Red Spoked wheels and Wide White Walls.

Didnt get much done but we tacked the steering tube from an old ross on it, raked it a bit and threw on some old ape hangers..Long way to go since I dont exactly have a plan for it yet.

Someone was throwing it out on junk day so I grabbed it for when my niece and nephew come up from Virginia Beach. Got a Jeep and a Dune Buggy as well haha.

The Manta style frames look SO much nicer than the StingRay Chopper styles. Looking forward to seeing this beast finished!
