Ideas and concepts

[Hooch]

I was stealing Uncle Stretchs intro thread talking about frame ideas and stuff so I thought I would start a thread just on off the wall ideas.
maybe somebody wants a challenge or has an Idea they don't have the tools to do but would like to see somebody try it!
heres one!

[Uncle Stretch]

Yeah Hooch wants me to build that.... I have spent the last two days trying to build a girder frontend. I'm almost there. Another bike frame....Hooch are you trying to kill me?

 

[Hooch]

hahaha no and you dont jave to build this one .... I can just tell you want to tho hahahaha

 

[Uncle Stretch]

Hey Hooch it's easy to clone a bike, but its really hard to copy one without the dimensons.
I have several attemps at a Raliegh P.U.B bike in the trash, but lend me one for a few days and
there will be clones of it everywhere S T R E T C H E D.

I doubt if you will ever see one of these I think they made very few of them
less than 100 and all the ones I have seen in pictures were a little bit different so I assume each was made one at a time changing the design to make them better

(not to mention a bucket of bondo...
