Good luck, have fun, and can't wait to see your finished ride!

Re: "HOOCH-A-RAMA"

24x 3 aint big nuff for "HOOCH-A-RAMA" went with a 26x3 and smaller sprocket in front..... the reason will come later
yes it was close but I had an idea and it worked! I had my son pedal it fast on the bike stand and took my angle grinder and rounded the sharp edge of the tire while it was spinning

This build requires at least one picture of you riding the final product and then we will be the judge of the seat fitment to your B U T T!

Re: "HOOCH-A-RAMA" updated 5-02

wow! I really like your handlebars. They have a kinda subtle madmax-flair to it. Where did you get it off of?
