I don't know what frame I've got. I like the straight back dropouts. I removed seat stay for room, using 24 wheels. Rear sprocket I welded to the hub, will be able to change ratio. In process of striping down and painting.

Welcome to RRB. Looks good!
I'm wondering if by removing the seat tube that you may be compromising the strength of the frame. Personally I'd be a little concerned. Are you using a water bottle for the fuel tank?

hey thx, I'm not sure about how the frame will do w/o the seat tube. One thing that will help is the head/cyl. mount I'm doing. The water bottle is my test run tank. I'll probably do a rear rack tank. I also did away with the horse shoe brake adaptor, to muck side flex, wont allow brake arms to clamp the rim. I've got a Del Rio with the lil hs142 and runnin this Briggs bike is having me think about swappin out the 142 for a Briggs.
