★★★ 2ND ANNUAL RRB AUCTION BIKE ★★★

Re: ★★★ 2ND ANNUAL RRB AUCTION BIKE ★★★We have a frame now!!

You wanted ideas and constructive criticism. :lol: ...Here ya go. You MUST have a TRIPLE crown fork, it's one of the major features in the illustration. It also has a "slight" bend to it. You'll notice the top of the tire is just even or slightly higher then the crowns....Now where can we get those forks bent, ever so slightly? :roll:

I agree with the triple crown fork, but maybe shortened not slightly bent... IDK... just my two cents.

I have this fork its a 3 crown looks like 4 in photo but thats the cap trim. Has enough length to lower about an inch just redrilling abnd cutting I need to weld a new steerer to it
I could bend if needed if you want I can set it up (weld Trim bend ) and send to mikesbikes or do the whole thing. Going to cut the tube tonight and sandblast it tommorow

Ok... Ok.... All sounds good... I like that fork as well.... so...

XC204 donates the fork... does the little fix magic on it... send it to KOTA for slight bend work since that is his specialty... KOTA sends it to mikesbikes36 for kustom truss work since he called it first and I would like to see this kind of truss rods on the bike... Double Nickle makes the RRB plate and sends it raw to mikesbikes36 for final mounting... then the final product hits my shop for finnish and mounting to the bike..... 8)

Cool all I need is : 1) Kota pm address to me.
2) Steerer tube length from bottom of lower race Dont forget truss rod bracket
3) do you want me to shorten by about an inch or have Kota do it after bend?
4) mike do you have a truss rod bracket? I have a schwinn and monark let
me know if you need one

I was lookin at the cranks and they look like 3pc. I don't have any extra, if I did I would send em to ya. if they are not does anyone have any dog leg crank and a 2 sp kickback with skip tooth? now that would look good on this build. 8)

Or, I can send you the forks from the frame that was used for the first auction build:

 

[mikesbikes36]

It needs a custom truss fork if possible.

Jeff Jones designed a nice one.

Gary if you have the fork that's going to be used and you feel comfortable in doing all the work, bending, cutting and welding, truss rods ..GO for it. It's fine with me. My only suggestion would be to have, at least the tire that's going to be used on the bike. Looks like there isn't much of a bend needed. But if it's over bent, tire and wheel won't fit.

Kota I'll just fix it ,send it to you for bending then from you to mikebikes for the truss rods
Thanks

What else do we need?

Re: ★★★ 2ND ANNUAL RRB AUCTION BIKE ★★★We have a frame now!!

What else do we need?

I think we still need pedals, cranks, stem, jerald tires, handle bars.

Re: ★★★ 2ND ANNUAL RRB AUCTION BIKE ★★★We have a frame now!!

This fork fought me tonight! the lower end of the orig steerer tube was two concentric tubes brased together every time I got a little way into the butt weld it would spit brass at me had to sleve the outside of the tubes. Oh and yes the bearings will go over the sleeve. One 3 crown fork on the way to Koda tommorow.
