Re: I just finished modifying two frames...

so that one is a ten speed, what do you brake with now? is it all foot power? thats the only thing i cant get over when chopping a 10speed bike is how to get around those handbrakes.
 
Re: I just finished modifying two frames...

i really like the first frame, because it looks like the Speedster camelback frame. Nice work.
 
Re: I just finished modifying two frames...

Yah I need to put a coaster brake on it or a disk brake on the front of the green one....I really want to put a motor it....has anyone tried the king motors?...
 
Re: I just finished modifying two frames...

Nice work and welcome aboard! The pink bike was just begging to be hacked up, what a mess that thing was before you fixed it. :D

The second bike I flipped the back forks...the frist bike ( green ) I cut loose the bottom fork, bent the top of the forks straight and added 3 inches of tubing to the bottom ones to lower and stretch it a bit...I'm post some photos...
