Thanks!What a great frame by you Lukester!! Nice job. Way cool.
Got the stickers on:
We were short on funds when we ordered them, so I got them printed on a white background and not profile cut, the white surround does show a little as it is a different shade of white, but it still looks good. I'm happy!
The paint is so bright white it is hard to get a good pic of...
Seems like the backing blends in pretty well, I couldn't see it.
What's the hub spacing on the fork and rear dropout again? And is your head tube a 1"?
Just trying to compare with some of the modern hub spacing on the multitude of mtb models available today. Looking good Luke! Can't wait to see the parts on it!

Both hubs are rear BMX trick bike hubs, so 14mm axles and a O.L.D. of 115mm, headtube is 1 1/8th threadless.Seems like the backing blends in pretty well, I couldn't see it.

I'm looking forward to seeing it done too!
Switched to a black leather Gyes saddle and some Alienation Ratchet grips, just suits the whole set up better, can't wait to take it for a ride!
Sweet Luke! Let's get that baby in the dirt! The saddle is perfect on there. And is that a quick-release seat clamp?! Nice touch.

Very nice Luke, very nice.
Yep, ended up with a quick release on there. Ride video will happen, just need to wait on my health a bit more or find someone willing to ride while I video...Sweet Luke! Let's get that baby in the dirt! The saddle is perfect on there. And is that a quick-release seat clamp?! Nice touch.

Thanks TRM!Very nice Luke, very nice.

She looks sweet! Man that is a cool frame!!....
two thumbs up! I just got a set of wheels like those. I wasn't sure I was going to like how bright yellow the spokes were, but seeing them on Back 40, I like them a lot.
Super beefy frame!

This just turned up in my Instagram feed, MTB of the year at NAHBS...
That design and geometry looks familiar, a little more restrained though...

I believe that frame is a Trek Sawyer . It's a 29" trow back to the klunker . It can also be set up as a Kevlar bet drive single speed. They don't make that bike anymore but they still pop up once and a while . If it is a swyer

I think that is a frame he built, I may be wrong?
Cool whatever it is!

Maybe but very similar to the Trek sawyer . Google it and check one out . Cheers [emoji16]

Similar for sure!
Just realised that one of Sklar Bike's other bikes was actually in my design idea file for Back40:
Not surprising they have similarities!
