[necessaryevil]

Great lines to the frame. I've never seen a uni-sprung seat before

looking forward to seeing this.......love those bikes

[UncleKudzu]

that'll be a cool bike.

i got some weird ideas last night looking at some 60s-era 50cc 2-stroke Grand Prix motorbikes.

[450redrider]

Started getting the pieces together for the frame

[KOTA]

No we had one sitting on the shelf for that someday project, I had a bunch of tubing that matches the right shape of the simplex, the only bikes that have got cut up so far have been a huffy santa fe frame and a murray mtb that I had laying around.

Yeah me building this has got my grandpa wanting to fix the real simplex back up

[NLCTVWguy]

Oh man I am liking this build... A LOT!

OF course it might have something to do with me building a motorcycle themed lil rat bike a couple Buildoffs ago...

The light bulbs are coming on.... the smell of burnt metal in the air... this is gonna be a good one!

Its actually Trx, I like Suzuki's, Yamaha's, Honda's, and pretty much anything else that goes fast

[450redrider]

In the middle had another bike idea popped into my head so had to lay it out, but maybe next time
