Future Build

[Merck125]

Im wanting to start a new build more along the lines of a drag bike and I was just wanting to know if anyone had any ideas for frames and different style wheels, if possible post pics thanks

Member Sinner4 took a road bike and made something that looks very "drag bike" to me, you might get some ideas from this: http://chopzone.com/tour.html

In that case, what is your idea of a drag bike? The forks on the one I posted bring to mind a dragster.

I was thinking about doing a columbia thunderbolt with a springer front fork and a narrow front tire with a fat slick on the rear, do you have any builds that you've done posted

There are frankly a lot of builds that have been done like that; there are so many, really, that it's tough to point out just one or two. Just look through the galleries of the last few years of build off bikes to see what I mean. The T-bolt frame will be somewhat limiting of your rear tire width, but you should be able to squeeze a 2.125 back there. Forget anything wider though.

Yeah, but I don't know that you'd call anything of mine drag related.

Some of those old ones are missing photos. Not all my builds are recorded on here.
