Frankenkrate (cycle truck muscle bike)

[nosferatu1381]

Cycle truck. I couldn't remember that word to save my life today

 

[nosferatu1381]

Anyway, here is another one. I need to get out to the barn. I am legit out of donor frames. I was planning on just moving the bottom bracket forward this time but then I had that cycle truck idea.

 

[nosferatu1381]

I guess I could finish the other one I have hanging on a hook back here that just needs some touch up and a new bottom bracket too

Quick break to check my lines before it gets dark and it flows like water. Once I get the cargo rack attached to the frame out front with a case of whiskey on it it will make more sense. HD atom drum out front, HD red band kickback out back, I get the tire I want in the rear I think it will look exactly like a Ratrod krate delivery bicycle

Did you weld this yet?
How about a nice swooping downward bend in that down tube?

The downtube is a matched angle with that cross brace in the old frame so I am keeping it. Plus it's going to be an actual heavy duty cycle truck so

 

[nosferatu1381]

And honestly I am already working on a really swooping one. I still need to relocate the bottom bracket and build some forks

 

[nosferatu1381]

Random person: what happens if you turn these the wrong way?
Me: funny story

okay show me what you are thinking. If nothing else i can always build another frame I am always finding girls bikes

 

[nosferatu1381]

This was rated for 500 lbs so it should hold a case of beer, small keg, large person, most hogs whatever. I just have to hide the rest of it from Kate until I use it for sidecar parts

that split in the middle so It doesn't theoretically cover the headbadge

 

[nosferatu1381]

This was a pitah but it's solid and I will have no trouble bracing it from both top tubes

 

[nosferatu1381]

Now for how am I supposed to hold up this rack and weld it on at the same time part

 

[nosferatu1381]

What are you looking at. I told you I found some stuff I could use for a side car.

Well, it actually makes sense for it to be straight with that big square crate on the front

 

[nosferatu1381]

I just hit levels of nope I didn't think I would try free hand

Thanks man. This weighs two and a half tons. In 1973 it wouldn't need a catalytic converter. I mean I did say cycle "truck". I mean it is in the name Franken"krate"

 

[nosferatu1381]

Well that looks like hot garbage. To be fair I have been waiting like three months for my glasses. I hope this works lmwhatever off

 

[nosferatu1381]

I can always use the sledge to level it a little bit after i am done

 

[nosferatu1381]

I could have called it hammer head

 

[nosferatu1381]

Man it's perfect . I have to make one more tiny part then it's just normal change the tires kinda stuff

 

[nosferatu1381]

Yup
