I'm Travis

[TWGbikes]

hello my name is Travis I'm from astoria oregon and this is the start of my build on my blue bike.

i would like to lower it a little, get a layback seatpost, make it multi geared with hopefully drum brakes. not sure if i want to do fenders yet or not but we'll cross that bridge when i get there. i may go with a super short fender.

Welcome to the site!
Chad was doing lay back seatposts, not sure if he still is, might be worth messaging him: http://www.ratrodbikes.com/forum/index.php?threads/heavy-duty-custom-latback-seat-posts.59700/

A quick update on my build progress. Eventually it will get a custom lay back seatpost and probably be lowered a little bit and a short crank put on.

As Luke mentioned, contact @slowriderz , Chad, a member on here. You can use the Conversations tab and start one with Chad. Type in his username and go! I have used his seatposts on 5 builds so far, love em!

I've got a welder buddy that said he'd help me build one. I want a flat one that basically makes it look like there's no post.

kinda like this one. Although I may hit up Chad because my buddies grinder is broken.

Thanks for the welcome. I think I will hit him up once I get home today. I did start a build thread for my other bike. It's a western flyer. Unsure of the year and model though.

Thanks man! It was a fun challenge incorporating the TRM tank with the girl's spaceliner frame.
