That's nice and light for a walgoose! Is the frame aluminum?

That thing is sweet! A buddy had a front clip from an Edsel on his 59 Ranchero. We called it the Edselero. Your can get clear bullets for your backup lights, I think Mooneyes sells them. Also, that thing is begging for some Bellflower tips!

I know that one of the guys rides hard, but I don't think the other does anything too crazy. Here is the thread: http://forums.mtbr.com/fat-bikes/gravity-quigley-full-suspension-fat-bike-964412-post11922298.html#post11922298

Cool pic! Just a word of caution: there are 2 of these on MTBR. The rear swing arm on BOTH of them have broken at the same weld. I suggest checking it after every ride, or maybe getting your money back. Just looking out....

Keep an eye on the rear triangle. A guy on MTBR broke his frame already.

My buddy Jeff recently bought a Gravity Monster Pro from BikesDirect.com. He really likes it, but hated the color and wanted to upgrade it a bit. So his wife and I decided to surprise him with a bike makeover! She bought him a new Surly Bud 4.8" front tire, leather grips, a new Brooks B17...

How thick is the rear dropout? You may want to do a shim before you grind a channel in the frame. Only issue I can see withh a shim is stressing the frame, but I don't think 2mm would be too bad.

I took this bike for about an 8 mile ride today on mostly single track. It rides OK, but not great. Its too tall, and it feels like the head angle is too steep. So the plan is to make another rear end that will lower the bottom bracket a couple inches. This will also slacken the front end.

Ya, thats true. But this BB is a standard square taper that can be had for about $14 online.

Got the bike mostly done last night. Rear Triangle: Clearance: Chainline: BIKE: SO, what makes this bike special apart from looking cool? It uses a standard MTB crank and bottom bracket! The BB is a 68x127.5, it has a single front ring, in the outer position on the...

Ya, it's relativly short. Hopefully the shortness mixed with the 66 degree head angle will make up for the high bottom bracket.

I didn't have a whole lot of time this weekend, but I got some work done. PICS: Next step is lots of welding, grinding, sanding, filing, etc.....

Teaser:

The spindle is only 127.5. I think the chain line will be good, but I'm not 100% sure. I got a bunch more done lasts night, but won't be able to post pics until later...

Last night I was working on my Intense project and had a cut off wheel come apart on me. It cut my hand up pretty good. Of course I didn't have any gloves on, like an ...... What gloves do you guys wear when working in the garage? I have a set of heavy leather ones that are good for welding...

It's not ready to weigh, but I'm gonna guess at 45 lbs when it's done.

Thanks for the comments! Had a few minutes to kill after lunch. Looks like I will have the clearance I need!

Got a bit of work done on the chain stays last night. They are going to have several bends in them so that they can clear the narrow cranks, and still have room for a 203mm rotor and 190mm rear spacing. I left them long until i can figure out rear travel, and dropouts. Im taking this build a...

Ya, but just barely. And i can only use 1 chainring in front.

Ok Here we go - This build has been on the back burner for a while now. But its time to get going. Here is a teaser shot: First off I got this fork from Aliexpress. 120mm travel, straight steerer tube. 6.8 pounds. Looks alot like a Bluto Stripping down the frame...
