A half link? Hey I got one...

It's either that or a chain ring with a different tooth count.

Also have a seating issue.

Those teeth would be a little painful.


And I still have to try Carl's spoke idea up front.

But I've got the overall stance.

A funny thing happened today.
As I said before, this is my first attempt at building a frame.
Also, I can weld. But I'm not a welder.

That being said.

So, do you think it'll be rideable??

 

[horsefarmer]

It will be fine.

 

[Missing Link]

I've done that many times, just comes with the territory, that may be why some guys have those frame jigs. It's fixable though, just cut and paste.

 

[sdframe]

Bizarre. Can't wait to see the final result.

That chain is low. You gonna be able to be riding with your buttocks scraping the ground.

Very cool!

Once I get the tension adjusted, the chain shouldn't be that low.

Gonna have to make a seat mount that will hold me above the rear crank set.

Much to my surprise.

Steering takes some getting used to, and I'm very surprised it's not only rideable but it didn't fall apart either.

Have to rethink the seat, and build a better tensioner. But it's not to bad.

If by dime, you mean 1000 square feet... then yes.

I'll take it over to the school parking lot some time and see how big a circle I can draw.

Thanks.
I like the overall design, but maybe one day I'll build a new one.

Dude, you actually look really comfortable on that thing. Yeah, a seat mod is in order, but the position and reach and balance....I'm a fan!

Yea, the seat is a big issue. The pan is to small, and the back rest is straight up. I've already come to a comfortable solution, just gotta wait for another day off.

Love the video!

Looks like I'll be the last stretch rolling. The circle idea is a good one there's a big parking lot by me I'll be checking what diameter I can turn in too. Congrats on the success, will be waiting for the new seat arrangement.

When I realized the frame wasn't straight, I thought I'd try to ride it as is.
Since it rides straight, I'm just going to leave the frame alone.

There was a crooked man who rode a crooked mile, he had a crooked bike, and he had a crooked smile...
