The bottom bracket and sissy bar[ its the upper rear legs that was cut off!] are not welded on yet
the lower rear legs WILL fit a 24x3 tire when I'm done
My goal: mixte with 24x3" tires front and back powered by a schwinn exercise sprocket!!..and of course HARLEY APE HANGERS!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
but this is not until next year :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x :x
 
Now THAT will void your warranty for sure! Cool build. I would love to read about tips on getting everything aligned during welding, when you get to it.

i think hes just lookin for an excuse to build a frame jig, ya know, and take pics and show us how its done for forum contribution purposes :mrgreen:

BTW the seat post has me wanting to see this finished soon :wink:
 
I was just messing with you guys. We all know frame alignment is over rated, right? :)

Go, outsider!

Look's like a cool bike is beginning to come to life........ Just take another look at those chainstays, the photo makes it look like you may have a crankarm and/or chainring clearance issue. Wouldn't want you to finish welding everything and THEN discover you can't pedal it.....
Chop ON, Bro!

Thats a bloody good point..
grab ya crank and bearings and do a dry run.
Also you WILL need shorter than std cranks. I have pixie style cranks in Massacre.

Oh yes I won't make that problem twice THE FIRST TIME I had to brake out the big fat flat tip screwdriver and hamm.....oops .......the propper metal frabrication devices to adjust the clearance for adequate chain movement :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

yes check out my gold one, I used ones from a 24" girls bike and switched out the lowrider forks for a straight one
THANKS every one for the props, it will not be worked on till next year when my welding class starts up again.


But I'll leave everybody with another idea in the works for next year.....
