STBO Cargo drop

[Fv2]

I've been stumbling onto bikes a lot lately, one of my most recent is this ladies rollfast. I bought it for the skiptooth parts, so figured I'd join in this build off for kicks.
Guess I'll see if i can bring an image out of my head.

Well. In order to get the drop part into the bike, I did a "simple chop" aka "LocoJoe" chop.
I cut the seat stays at the seat tube, then used a ratchet strap to pull the rear triangle up, henceforth lowering the bike.

For another bike im building, I tried my hand at making a KOTA fork, which I haven't done for several years. I messed up the first one, so I used it here for mock up.
I obviously won't be using this fork for this build, but it helps me visualize.

This is all I'm doing for today.

That "simple chop" is simply awesome! Thanks for showing us how it's done
