Hello

[Goat Herder]

I am currently a member at http://motorbicycling.com/ My quest and love for bikes has brought me here.

My quest right now is to find a GT Dyno Deuce . Also to study all you have to offer. Looking forward to sharing back! Thanks

Welcome!

Welcome. Are you looking for a complete bike or a project frame? I have a great Dyno cruiser frame that's being prepped for a board track build but my plans may have changed and I could be tempted to part with it fairly easily.

welcome to the madness!

Thanks guy's for the warm welcome. Tailwind P.m.ed! Yes I was thinking along the lines of board track. I like the larger G.T. deuce cruiser is closer laid out to my height and reach. Plus the curves to the frame are perfect I really like the layout.


You guy's have some sweet bikes here been looking around . I love it! I have spent my entire life on bicycles it has been a lifelong love. Digging through this forum is sweet!

I found my Dyno!!

I will be doing some major frame mods though because I am a tall guy. Over all I am pretty thrilled and thought to share.


A custom tank will be fitted in the frame munch like this link to another guy's Dyno build. Here is the pict

At this link there is a Kona brand rear sus that will be grafted to the back of the Dyno cruiser. Also the triple tree bomber forks will go on this build as well.

and the forks!

This bike will reflect me, as I am 6 foot tall and have no intentions of riding low to the ground on my tail bone or spending life with my chin well over the front tire. lol. I hate the stretch bikes that are out there because that is there general layout.[tail bone] I want to be sitting from the point of view of a touring bike peddle stance. Since that is all I have ever known and enjoyed.

Sad to say this will be a slow process. I have stared at this thing for two days now. It is gonna work! The Kona rear end is very sweet and cushy! This will be J shafted off of a 2 smoke china. This will give me full use of the bikes rear and even front gearing vie the engine as well as any peddling.

Here is one of my very first all out builds. http://motorbicycling.com/f47/morini-ti ... -9048.html Here is a cargo picture.. http://motorbicycling.com/f3/cargo-22496-3.html


Now I also truly love peddling I have peddled all my life. Here is a link to one of my favorite peddle bikes.

I guessing this is primary a bike without the motor type forum. So I apologize if I offends anyone. I peddle first and foremost I always have. I just really enjoy building stuff

Thanks Folks and best wishes to everyone!!

Just click the Img "button" in the reply form, then type or paste in your image info. :wink:

Very cool thanks! Works like a charm! Now I will go through and clean it up!

A sad thing about this bike for me is that the seat post utilizes a tiny short pipe
Not good with my stature. I will stare at this thing in my living room for a month making up my mind. I will have everything precariously propped up and accidentally knock it down a dozen times staring at it lol.

To pull off grafting the sus rear end I will have to weld another seat post in further to the rear then make all the gusset points to remount the hinging for the sus. All the while considering the J shaft etc.

This will not be easy to pull off if I do it..

Huh gotta play with it a bit don't know how to up load a pict from my computer yet?


I can do it from another forum. Just not from my own computer yet.

 

[deorman]

You can only do that if your web service provides you with a web page, they need to have a web address. Otherwise, you can do a free Photobucket account. :arrow: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=172

As for the tall guy on a cruiser effect, at 6' 2", I just use long aftermarket seat posts.

Welcome to the fun!

 

[Goat Herder]

Thanks Rat Rod

As for the seat post on this pig I can't help but think it will bend if I get a longer one. I am not in a hurry with this build. I am going to consider a lot of options. I may even leave the bike stock. Naw I can't help it :lol:

Here is another option I am seriously considering. I am a bit of a nut about power :lol:

Hi !
I've just visited this forum. Happy to get acquainted with you. Thanks.

After looking at your folks picture gallery I have come to better senses. [where everyone should prolly look first snork] I want to lengthen the rear back about eight inches and keep the bikes original curves. Reason being for this is I want a different seat post 3 inches further back and going straighter up and down than the original. Think my mammoth D.H. forks.

I also want to run a second set of cantilever curve bars down lower and paralleled to the two upper ones. This would be ran all the way to the rear. Reason more strength yes but also it will let me mount my exhaust and top top of the head jug to the two smoke in a estetically pleasing fashion. Also a much wider rear tire is in the plans

Last the original seat tube will be cut out except where it will tie the motor together and a internally geared hub for a j shaft put adjacent to the new seat post. Which will be more vertical than the original post leaving perfect room for it.

My major questions for me here in this build as I really want to do it right. I have a good idea on tubing I believe . I could really use some advice if anyone has any links. I am very familiar with welding and a grinding. :mrgreen: How ever I want to do this flawless show room quality.

My approach is to find smaller tubing [on the rear trailing arms] and sleeve it into the tubing [I want to lengthen] with matching OD tubing on top.

Major prob for me here I need tubing!!!! :?:


So any links to any part of this subject would truly be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
