Duck Norris, Guest Starring in That Sixties Thing

[MattiThundrrr]

What’s the next step in the master plan?

I kinda fell outta love with things when I realized 1.75" was the biggest tire it could take. Can't meet requirements with that. Maybe a frame change, maybe withdrawal from competition so I can build the bike he wants

 

[GeePig]

I have problems with tires and the rims on which to mount them. I could order some from some other country, which I do not want to do, or I could spend a lot of money hunting down a source and then buying the bits.

One day I will probably find something. Maybe.

 

[MattiThundrrr]

I don't think I'll do the Baby Duck, but I might have come up with a crazy scheme out of left field, just so I don't have another DNF on the books. Possible frame swap, but you'd barely notice the change. Maybe I'll muscle up the big Duck. I have the parts to do 3 outta 3

 

[MattiThundrrr]

Screw the cold, I'm feeling bold. Frame swap, the Big Duck gonna flex

 

[MattiThundrrr]

Simple: throw the parts I was planning for the little one on here instead. You know I have plenty of 26 tire to pick from, went with the widest and narrowest in the pile, 2.125 and 1.75
Gonna be the quickest build you ever saw Matti do. See y'all soon

 

[MattiThundrrr]

Let's go!

A little bit off the top.

A couple of attempts, a couple of levers, and it all fits

Step two gives us a vision to work with.

Do you know how long it took to get that saddle angle set properly? Lol.

So much easier with a nanner! Dropped in place, will sit lower when bolted on

[The Renaissance Man]

Lightning round! No time for breaks!

 

[MattiThundrrr]

Step three is the biggie, a combo. Tires, and bringing the rear all together

one down

That's two.

Three requirements, check, check, and check

 

[MattiThundrrr]

Lightning round! No time for breaks!

Literally an entire build in about two hours!. Watch this Duck fly! We're all done but the grips, only a wee issue, stupid skinny front tire caused a pinch flat, won't hold air for minute.

Sustinance break

Matti can not live on Oreos and salt and vinegar chips alone

Pumped it up to the maxxx! Didn't let that little detail prevent me from taking a first flight! Cockpit shot, technically rideable!

Note the grips. Snagged a couple of final shots while I was at it. I can has finished thread

 

[SwissGuy]

That was a very quick one...

Fast indeed

Love the frame and those bars @MattiThundrrr I would like to ride the tires off of this one...

I dunno folks, does it need/want fenders?

In the words of ingolajr fenders are for old dudes

Personally, I hate all the rattling tin. I'm sure I still have a chain guard somewhere as well, but I've never had either on any of my bikes. Accessories seem to be a part of the muscle style, but not really my style

Your bike your style so no fenders

I like it without. But that is usually my preference as well.
