Re: Dark Horse 2: The Fast One Cool,cool bike x2. Reminds me more of an earlier Stone Woods and Cook Willy"s gasser( if your paint was lighter blue). Being 54, I remember those classic dragsters, AND.....I can't ride a wheelie either!. But back to your bike. As much as I like it, I think I'd...

Well I bought a Truvative BB conversion kit and if I had not had a lathe at work to skim off about .020 off the cups I could have NEVER pressed the cups into the frame. I will use the Tioga kit from now on.......Ride hard dudes!!!!

Anybody know where you can find bolt on handle bar crossbars like some clunkers style bikes use, making a 5"or 6"rise bar look more like a BMX bar(more so if you add a pad)? Thanks dudes.
