I just want the bike to be lower in the front I hope I can use parts off that old BMX or what ever it is I got it for free It had a plastic gas tank it looked like a old motor cross bike, It is heavy as heck it's a 20 inch tires with super heavy duty wheels. If I figure out how to post pictures you can see what I'm talking about got them down loaded but that's as far as I got.

Very cool Bronco style bike! You might get a few people mad at you if you start chopping it up though...

Really well don't want to make anyone mad but I like the front end for my build so hmmm don't know what I will do. That front end would be cool you think.

I don't know anything about them, it certainly would be a cool donor bike, but I would hate to see the reaction if it was something rare or valuable... Hopefully someone knows what it is and will chime in.

Yep that would be cool Luke I hope I'm not bothering you dude. Let me know what you think about the drawings I sent you don't worry about hurting my feelings I need to know what will or won't work but you know you can make anything work lol.

Not to date myself but I'm pretty sure my friend Bryan had a (new) bike just like that when we were about 15 years old.....

Is it just my eyes or is that fork bent back slightly just below the lower fork crown?

Does this fit into the scratch built guidelines?

 

[model-a]

Hmmmm I don't know for sure.
