Yep. definately not going to be a long distance bike, more a parkway cruiser...
Thinking I might do something along the lines of your Burrito for a more usable bike. Really like your design...

Any updates on your bike "Infiltrator"? This is still one of my favorite burritos of all time...

Repaired the bike some what, changed the rake a tad bit, but now the ride height is not to my satisfaction.... however, i do enjoy being able to ride where ever i want with out having to worry about the bike bottoming out and throwing me off.
Im tending towards function over form, trying to reach a compromise where i can still maintain a decent riding height for the routes i use without spoiling the low look of the bike.
Looking at getting new 27" wheels and maybe build a pneumatic or hydraulic springer to sort out the ride height issues i have.
pics for clicks.
old neck tube
new neck tube, piece of a wheel barrow handle bar
rake according to my smart phone lol
rims i wanted to use, some major failure here, that's what happens when you let friends use your road bike.
chain i spotted laying on the floor the last time i went out for a mass ride.
under construction, that slope did me in, should have had a longer level surface to work from but i only had an hour to repair before going out for a run.
new neck tube installed, check the cement from the wheel barrow...
bike after new neck tube install
Thanks for looking.

1.Changed the positioning of the chain wheel and crank a
2.Made a headlight cowl using the casing from a starter motor
3.Changed the trail using some odd parts to build up the front end semi functional springer???
Parts used for the front end,
2 adjustable shocks
brake mechanism from the fork pictured on the bicycle
square tubing welded to a piece of 5mm flat bar. intended use is for outdoor safety gates, it's the locking point.
Thanks for looking. :roll:
