You guys know me by now, got about 10 different drawings and designs happening, the Hoosier dirt tire really threw my designs a loop though, it is far too wide to run without a jackshaft so now the cranks need to be a fair way in front of the leading edge of the tire to allow room so my heels don't get caught on the way through.
Plan I was using for the narrower tire and wheel combo:
Full length breadloaf seat and a converted handbrake from an old Nissan involved in that one.
Then when the Hoosier became involved, I went a bit dragster:
Even tried to put that design through BikeCad, that was not fun:
That was cool, but decided I needed to do something a bit different, so went searching through my "Ideas" folder of photos on the computer and decided I liked one I found here on RRB somewhere, whoever owns this photo, sorry, I forgot who...
That basic design allows room for the jackshaft but still keeps the "Muscle" look I am after, so the current design is based in this area, but is still in progress, there is a fair bit of work converting that idea to run a 14" wide rear tire...
No, I will not be running a motor...
