Ten Tonne Tadpole (Overloading Policy)

[muddy]

This build is inspired by New Zealand's tendency to take our vehicles above and beyond what they were designed to do.
The Ten Tonne Tadpole is going to be under specced in pretty much every way by parts availability and cost.

Sorry about that, this will be it with any luck

Are you going to use those forks? Love to see what kind of frog/prince this "Ten Tonne Tadpole" will turn into... sorry, I just couldn't resist. Nice start.

Maybe, probably not and this one'll be much more frog than prince.

This is it with the new crankset (a touch short but that can be dealt with)

And this is the bike that so kindly offered itself for this build for $20.

A close up of the reason the wee Giant was needed

Wondering what is going on in Kiwi land????
Have you been too busy eating the best ice cream in the world to work on you build?
We need an update, so you get the Hokey Pokey Ice Cream back page bump tonight.

Brought to you by the best candy in the world. Cadbury Crunchie. Choclate covered aerated toffee that melts in your mouth.
