its been a great experience, RAT RODS forum definitely motivated the build, this is a great community of enthusiast, very positive environment to express yourself. thanks to all!

Thank you 383Camino Looking at your profile picture believe their maybe some similarities LOL. I still have a few details to complete did get to ride yesterday I happy with the overall bike for my 1st frame modification build.

Assembly almost there, went with different seat I am a sucker for diamond pattern seats, banana seat strut made rear too busy looking for clean simple look. Still need to fab shiftier handle and some graphics Liquid sunshine today so no riding

I too wanted an adult sized stingray used modern stingray fork Gerald slick brazed on v-brake bosses fabed a shifter ape hangers

been working on other bikes made progress on paint. Found fork struts suggested by Missing Link, they look great, converted BB to euro. just a few details to workout and hope for decent weather to ride

Red one on CL listed locally for $300! OBO I am tempted to buy

took a few days off Brass Knuckles worked on other bikes, mocked up seat and tried original fork, like factory fork over chopper style, looks cleaner fits frame. (last Pic)

legs welded to lower tree, after seeing Missinglink's Rollfast going to try another fork, I want a rider I can enjoy, too many hills around here, the long forks on my Schwinn are a PITA

I used liquid Drano on one frame let it sit for couple of weeks, it did loosen tried on another did not work. remove crank/BB plug any holes at seat post end fill seat tube let it sit as long as possible.

ok now I am digging the 20...maybe I need to get seat mocked up?

Mocked up fork today now deciding 20" 27" or 26" front wheel, wife says 26 I like the 26 (one with tire mounted), rear wheel is 24

But it could be considered a BMX cruiser due to components? I think a frame design would dictate the type of bike, I believe BMX cruiser must have vertical drop out that opens to the rear?

Jason well done!, Love "Urban Bombers".

OddJob I like the idea, I'll try at a few joints

My next build after completing current project is a TAG26 Frame and Fork , all else will be mid school parts accumulated over the years, scored a nice 1983 wheel set off a MTB Suzue high flange hubs w/ Araya 7x rims. Anyone else put a Fairdale together?

Its amazing to see the different regions value what? Seattle area defiantly MTB country.

JB Weld then, I am an expert with that stuff lol thanks for all the advise input

I am unsure how to classify my Schwinn Cruiser or my Magna MTB converted to a cruiser they are both geared. The Magna was found in a junk pile painted except the chain stays, once I started stripping paint discovered chrome underneath, I am a sucker for chrome. Added fork and bullnose bars 3...

Wire Feed (got to love the auto correct)

yes I agree, chopper fork is the C triple tree right? Like the one on the donor bike I have. I am out of practice on the welding, I picked up an inexpensive Harbor Freight 220volt fire weed unit last year still getting use to it way different than the stick welding I grew up doing Plan on...
