Re: hooligan

i absolutely adore this new wave of ratty bikes with the extra rear end welded to the original frame. i'm sure it won't be long before i try this myself.

i'm not sure what it is, but there something about that girls frame that i really dig. the short stays ya welded in place look awesome. just the right length in my opinion.the bike would look killa cool with the very front of the seat resting on the downtube, and tucked in right close to the frame/tire.

cant wait to see the progress on this one
 
Re: hooligan

Re: chopped suzy(the bike formaly known as hooligan.)

OK i bent the forks up at work and it seems to have works and everything seems to have lined up....... so all i have to do is shorten the neck on the forks and i am golden...... hopefully i can do the Sunday...

oh and karfer i thought of a more suitable name last night... hooligan just doesn't suit this bike as well..... so you can call off the lawyers.lol
 
Re: chopped suzy.. (the bike fomally known as hooligan)

well i shortened the neck to day so the bike is pretty close to being ride able except i am not to sure on how i am going to mount the seat or with what kinda seat to go with....
there's the trusty banana seat

or the regular solo seat...

i am kinda gunning for this one cause i don't have an extra banana seat kicking around... but i will have to mount the seat further band and over the wheel.. let me know what you guy's think and if you have any suggestions for mounting the seat....
 
Re: chopped suzy.. (the bike breifly known as hooligan)

I like it w/the banana seat, but I'd run the supports to the rear dropouts, maybe weld on some tabs for it. But I know whatcha mean about not having enough 'nanner seats to go around! ~Adam

Re: chopped suzy.. (the bike breifly known as hooligan)

well i tightened the seat post up with a bracket and scored an old excessive bike seat for it threw a chain on and went for a ride i am going to have to make a chain tightener for the bike cause the chain rubs on the frame a bit. other then that it rides awesome takes a little bit of practice to figure out the turning radius.......
