I don't know what to call this bike publicly. I suppose I will come up with something. My name for it is dumb, grim, goth and kinda pat. :roll:
Here are links to a couple bikes built this way, I have seen others that I can't find now. This is FatBoy's JC Higgins, viewtopic.php?f=21&t=44358&st=0&sk=t&sd=a, and deven_science's Flipped bike, viewtopic.php?f=21&t=55726&hilit=deven+science. I also just found the Twisted Sister bikes by PeterBuilt
viewtopic.php?f=60&t=43178 and Number 2 viewtopic.php?f=21&t=43344&hilit=twisted+sister. And then there are the two in the Build-Off, Deviant, http://ratrodbikes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=68&t=61058 and Upside Down Xcess, http://ratrodbikes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=68&t=60973.
On the shoulders of giants. (is that a little thick?)
I am going to build a springer fork of some kind, it may be faux. I found a terrific color of paint called Night Red by Montana Cans http://www.montana-cans.com/ They have lots of colors. Lots. I've got bunches of ideas for details, I was up half the night with the notebook.
This is the frame I got
This is my sketch, mostly the stance and the feel
and here is a baby ziptie mock-up
Here I go. There will be plenty to keep me busy 'til my welder arrives and plenty to buy too :roll:
