Built from ~NothingSpecial~

I managed to get the frame partially done last year, but just didn't have the time to get much done, so it sat around rusting over winter. This is what I've got to start with (minus the wheels). It's disproportional, super long, and still doesn't have a bb. No budget.

I really like the chainstay and seatstay. Great start, I hope you get to finish it this build off! Oh I almost forgot... First!

Holy sh*t that's long, hope you're 8' tall!

Here's the bike when I got it last year. It was almost too nice to cut up, but it had a few rusted out and badly pitted areas.

Basically how it went together.

A girl's bike is never too nice to cut up.

I got a BB mounted, and scavenged some pipe for the middle bar. I've also knocked some of the arch out of the top tubes near the front. I'm much happier with the overall shape now. The trouble with these small top tubes is that they're easily disturbed, I need to work out some sort of bracing between them. Hopefully the middle bar will help tie everything together better once it's installed.

Keep it going, it is looking good, love the new radius on the top tubes.

cool frames and bikes can't wait to see this build

Wow, and I thought my frame was long. That is going to be one comfortable bike to ride.

It's 94" long as it sits.

I'm impressed at the progress everyone is making. I can't seem to get any work done lately. It's just been too hot.

Just try to chip away at it one bit at a time. It's been hot in Savannah too (already had a couple of 100+ heat index days).

Too cold here...
Hard to get motivated to go outside and build...

Great start to the build,hope you finish this time...

I mocked up the bike yesterday trying to get an idea of the proportions. The seat will probably not end up mounted in the same place, it will likely be lower and farther back. This bike has much less rake than my last one, hopefully avoiding wheel flop. It'll still take a parking lot to turn around in though.

Seat should go wherever is comfortable, of course, but it looks good where it is.

 

[kingfish254]

I like the lines of this build.
The seat actually looks positioned well for riding and for looks as it is.

I picked out the paint I'm going to use. It was on sale, so that's what I went with. It's dark and flat, but maybe just different enough to not look like flat black.

I also acquired some free foam from work, and also picked up some aluminum scrap including a circular saw, part of what must be a shower curtain rod and a motocross exhaust silencer.

Which I cut up to make this.

Nice!
