    New Ruff Porucho build

    Yes, but if I am not mistaken it has a custom made from scratch front end.

    Blue Meanie Mod's

    I am quite curious how it goes further. Is there supposed to be a second pivot point or am I missing something? Quite impressed with the chair cartridge trick.

    Columbia 🐪 CamelBack - ‘21 2n1

    I pictured such a fork setup with the main fork backwards as well. However I love the offset of the front wheel in your version.

    ROUNDING THE BEND

    I think the original design of these forks is somewhat limiting. I mean, the axle on your fork is in the middle of the rocker, between the front and the rear fork. I have a similar double springer fork and the axle is positioned under the front fork. However I quite like the design that is...

    🏁 LE MIRAGE - An update.

    Hey, say, could you provide me with a link for that axle? This is the size that usually goes with the cotter pin cranks, only this one is square taper, right?

    Bobber style Anyone?

    I have tried it, but with bolts and didn't like it very much. I had also bolted the pieces only in the middle. It looks great with rivets though.

    Rookie builds by veteran builders

    I remember that one very well. It had my vote. Visually quite stunning.

    Rookie builds by veteran builders

    This is basically the beginning of my journey, I think shortly before I discovered RRB: Yep, it's my electric felt bike, now the only thing that's left from this picture is the frame, everything else has been replaced :D Then this is my first BO entry: And then this is the build that...

    Countdown to build off 18

    Well, people usually go for cruiser frames as a starting point (class 1) because they usually have more pleasing lines than a mtb. An mtb also has a relatively restricting geometry to play around with bars and seating arrangements. But there have been builds, for sure. I think many of us have...

    You in with what?

    Lol I know the Abraham Linkage, but had no idea that it is called that just because Linkage and Lincoln. I actually always assumed that Jerry Springer is a dude that came with this particular design and some Abraham fellow came with the other design. I never cared enough to research it...

    Omg you are right. I remember reading about it in the news. But yeah, I saw them called that around here on RRB. A quick example:

    That's the type I mean, I have seen them referred to as Jerry Springer fork

    You in with what?

    I am starting to think "yes". I go mentally through my parts storage/junkyard and I have a cheap cruiser frame with bsa BB, that has the seat tube mutilated, so the seating arrangement might be a challenge, which I love. I have a 635 mm rear SS wheel that desperately needs to be trued, so maybe...

    Since driving a fork lift is a huge part of my work I would find a rear steering bike insanely fascinating. I am quite curious about both the way you set up the steering and the learning curve to be able to confidently ride it.
