That sidecar mount would be awesome with a web gusset though.

Alright! real work done! I do like simple side car frame, this is quite the opposite of what my plans are, as I want my sidecar to be removable. Are you planning to having any additional braces between the bike and the car?

Yes, I will have braces from the seat stay down the sidecar frame and possibly gussets on what I just did. I know many sidecars have a bar that goes forward to the headtube, I am open to this, but avoiding it. I thought about making mine removable too, but just couldn't think of a coupler that would be strong enough and have no movement and be quiet. Judging by your work, you're probably going to wow me with how you've already got that problem solved. haha.

Looks great Justin!
What if you hung the bullet on the downtube? :wink:

Yeah, that looks pretty good, but I mean more in the middle :wink:

If I decide to put it where it is now I will cut out that piece of frame that points to the ground and make it fit tight against the bottom. I don't want it on the down tube pointing up because I really want it facing forward and I actually don't want too much attention drawn to it.

Thanks, I really had a hard time getting started, but I was up in the bike bathroom this morning, saw that frame and grabbed it, thought this would be as good a starting point as any. I know I don't want the sidecar wheel beside the rear wheel, but a little forward of it (will be more like a pivot point for right turns) and not too far forward. That piece of frame really helps bring all that together.

Nice progress!This is going to be sweet 8) Have you considered welding the steer tube inside the head tube?It's hard to tell if that would position the wheel properly or not.Keep up the great work :!:

Re: █ ▌▌G.I.JESSE JAMES ▌▌█ Cinco De Mayo, actual progress Pg.8
I looked into that, it would make the wheel either too far forward or back, but anyway I actually need to add a little more material to put the wheel a few more inches out.

Maybe suspended where it bisects the top and down tubes?? That is a such a cool item. It needs to be shown off.
Nice progress!!!

Thanks! It is a cool item, but it was something I found in an attic, and it's just so big! If I end up not using it, it won't hurt my feelings, build isn't complete yet though.
They are watching out for all the neighborhood kids that come around having me fix their bikes, they know if they see one ride up needing a part that they have that they better hide quick!

Re: █ ▌▌G.I.JESSE JAMES ▌▌█ Cinco De Mayo, actual progress Pg.8
Thanks, but I think I have enough... I think. This project will use 2 rear wheels, 2 of the 20x3 tires and one OCC front wheel tire combo, that will leave me with 2 20x3 tires, 2 front WCC rims, and 2 front OCC wheel/tire combos. I also have a spare 20" black coaster, so I can just about build this same bike again, without the passenger cutter brake. :mrgreen:

Missile silo... I like that! haha
Maybe I can have a water reservoir in the bottom and drop a piece of dry ice in it.
