Re: Project Swing Low (non motorized boardtracker)

Here's the sprocket painted up in gloss black. Don't look too bad for a spray can, eh?

It was a 3 speed sprocket, but I drilled out the rivets and done away with the biggest and smallest gear

New bars are in, and they do measure up 28" from end to end! :shock:

Re: Project Swing Low (non motorized boardtracker)

Nothing really new, this has kinda been on the back burner for a bit. Changed the back half to a mens, and it works much better. Stuck it somewhat together so I could see what the bars looked like on it, and they're very fitting.

Anyone seeing a board tracker yet? :wink:

Just in case anyone's curious as to how these look from the front. These have a great span to them, they were money well spent and I got the look I wanted.

I'm seeing some resemblance to this myself

Cool concept! My post got kinda screwed up and I'm deleting it and redoing it. It will be in the Intro's under "Bit by the bug! Pt.2" Check it out when you get a chance. You only got to see that lowrider bike before I put my hands on it. That was nothing!

Re: Project Swing Low (non motorized boardtracker)

Another mock up shot. I finally found a rear triangle I liked, had a nice curve and sat the seat at a good angle so I can use a regular seat post.

Ok everyone, I've finally got an update on this! I started welding up the frame today. It wont be anything to brag about as I'm just learning how to weld, but I'm going to make sure its 100% safe! I'll post some pictures tomorrow as I'm sure there are some anxious people that will be looking forward to seeing some progress on this! Stay tuned! :wink:

 

[Lowlife Lucas]

Ok, everyone. I promised pics, here's a couple. Now, keep in mind it's not finished yet. I've gotta finish grinding welds and all that good stuff. I just had to see how it looked.

Ok, so being bike nuts ourselves, we KNOW you jumped on and flatfooted it around, how does it feel? :wink:

Luke.

 

[1beaglebaby]

Like that fork!!

 

[Lowlife Lucas]

Thanks guys! Luke, I sure did and it felt good!
However, I got a chain on it this evening and rode it! It's different, very different, but awesome! I've gotta break it down and finish it, but in true RRB style, I couldn't resist testing it.

 

[LukeTheJoker]

Need to see a pic or video of you on it Lucas! :wink:

Luke.

Need to see a pic or video of you on it Lucas! :wink:

Luke.

I'll see what I can do :wink:
Its not the most comfortable thing ever and I'm kinda in a bind on it, but I like it lol. I'm 6'0" and the legs are tight, but the stretch out is pretty dread on
