[nick_ish]

Hey guys just finished buildin myfirst tall bike! It was also my first time welding a bike! Hehe
Parts

The finished product so far....

Its rideable and a lot of fun might cut off the top frames chain stays to clean it up a bit but im pritty happy that it works!

Looks good. Yeah I'd cut of the chain stays. Here's what I did on mine in that space. It bolts on to rear axle and seat post clamp.

Nice pics! But Locojoe you dont look anything like your avatar. :mrgreen: Nickish you look like your off to a great start. I did almost the same thing with my rear seatstays. Riding a tall bike is a totally new experience to me too and I love the feeling up there.

Nice, looks balanced. Randy has a good point with his rear stay you could do that.

hehe it is its really small though so i might throw a set of apes on it for more room
its really easy to ride and you dont flip which is good! :mrgreen:
hopfully ill get a video of me rideing it up soon :lol:

Heres a quick mock up with apes.

Bars are to skinny so ill have to find some shims!
I like the look of em should be less cramped *fingers crossed*

 

[nick_ish]

Got a another stem so bars don't slip anymore also changed seat and post, wheels and chain.
Much more comforable now pics tomorrow hopfully.
Next step is to single speed it and change the seat.
Laters!
