Cyclone boardtrack build.

[Boardtrack fan]

I decided to transform my gender reassignment frame into a Cyclone boardtracker. I still have a long ways to go but, here are some pictures of the bike before I started and some progress pictures. I have included some of my reference/inspiration images.

This is what I stared with frame and fork wise.

Chop, chop!

Inspiration.

This will eventually be my Indian boadtrack bike. Fifty one Schwinn straight bar frame with a Shelby internal springer. The tank is just a mock-up made of cardboard.

BTF- can you take some more pics of that internal springer? ive never seen one of those before and im curious as to how it works. thanks..

btw-love the direction of this already!

Elvis,
Sorry I don't have a picture of it assembled. The fork blades pivot on the piece that is attached to the head tube. This actuates the plunger type internal spring in the head tube. It is missing the upper (short) and lower (long) truss rods. I will try and find a picture for you.

I spy your blackhawk in the background, how's that bike coming along?

 

[Boardtrack fan]

The Blackhawk is on hold until I find a tank I can afford. I don't think I want a rack on it. Other than that it just needs some prep and paint.

Hey Dave, I think you could build a Blackhawk tank, get some flat stock and beadroll the profile on flat stock and cut along the fillet that was beadrolled and then build a box, that way you would get the inset and a nice fillet around the edge like it was stamped, just an idea.
