Like those bars, very fitting for the bike. The bike turned out great, as usual! :wink: 8)

Thanks Lucas. I have to extend the kickstand an inch, and maybe build another fork.
I want to see what a single one with a curve will look like.

Looks like it rides great! How is the spring action?

Re: Fat Fix (Got Paint) (riding video)

My back is killing me , so I didn't run over anything to really test it. Seemed to work
pretty good. I guess it adds to the build.

Re: Fat Fix (Got Paint) (riding video)

Maybe your back is telling you to work slower... :wink:
Just kidding, love the bike, and as always, impressed by the speed at which you build...

Luke.

I'm thinking I'm going to use my option of one frame change, and build a cruiser
out of these tires and wheels. So after a short rest.....start watching , because it
will be on again. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Pretty sure that current frame would sell pretty quick in the for sale section! That is if Chuck has not yet laid claim...

I'd REALLY love to see those wheels on a cruiser frame. Looks amazing either way, as per usual.

+1!

Re: Fat Fix (Got Paint) (riding video)

Yall are funny. Luke I doubt that Chuck would want this one. Its not his style, and
he already has a bike with 100mm polished rims and it looks a lots better than this one.
I really don't sell stuff much. I will keep it since its all that is left of my original Beast.

It will be a while before I jump on another build. My back need to get better. It was doing
good and then I messed it up again this morning.
Ok time to burn a little real estate.

The bike looks great, when you feel better, it would be cool to see it as a "true" Uncle Stretch... that would be cruiser style.

peace

Re: Fat Fix (Got Paint) (riding video)

Is your back too bad to ride it or is your back messed up BECAUSE you rode it?

 

[Uncle Stretch]

Re: Fat Fix (Got Paint) (riding video)

There is a hole in my yard where I filled in my ditch. It lets dirt go into my culverts.
I have fixed it a bunch of times but forgot it was there. When I rode over it the bump
bounced my back and got it to hurting again. It had just gotten better from hurting it
a week or so ago. Getting old ain't for sissies.

Rich I will build something as soon as I get back to normal. I have another frame design in mind.

Awesome transformation.

 

[Uncle Stretch]

Re: Fat Fix (Got Paint) (riding video)(photos)

Its because I removed that pesky chain guard. Made all the difference in the world.
Thanks Kingfish glad you like it.

Re: Fat Fix (Got Paint) (riding video)(photos)

To be quite honest, I'd much rather have an Uncle Stretch fat bike than the Mongoose fat bike! :wink:
However, if I got one, it would have to be the Mongoose one :| :lol:

Re: Fat Fix (Got Paint) (riding video)(photos)

Lucas they are a bunch of fun. Lots of people bought them and changed some of the parts.
I just changed a little more than they did.

Nice work. I went on a little vacation and come back to see you already finished. Time to watch some Western's and let your back get better.

Yeah...don't go taking a nap or you'll miss the whole build. :lol:

Thanks Clancy. I knew you were kinda scarce lately. Hope you had fun.
Five days...thats about right. Had to get on with it.
