Interesting forks, waiting to see how the top is attached..

The top... oh no, the top.

Was that a MTB rear end?

Very unique and cool, either way.

 

[LukeTheJoker]

The fork and bars are a game changer! VERY COOL!
Love it!

Luke.

Yes, it is a re-purposed Proflex rear suspension (built by Bob Girvin, hence the name McGirviner).

All for now, Good luck to all, Rg

Love the open flow of the frame...

 

[ifitsfreeitsforme]

OH MY. This is spectacular.

 

[raggedjim]

Thanks guys, this will be a slim-lined build compared to Loco-cycle. I have to work on it when I get extra time (is there such a thing???)

Good luck, Rg

Real nice lines on it, makes me wonder if I should get the saw out on the seat tube of my twin tubed Giant. (Better if I can actually make a proper start on it!!!) Joking aside, great start to your build, looking forward to following this

So what does a twin bar need?

Twin bars for the twin bar!

All for now, Good luck to all, Rg

The handle bars off of the forks........just awesome!

 

[raggedjim]

I know, it's not a JCHiggins but I like the sprocket, so it's staying...

You could always spin it around and have a Sniggih C J.

 

[Scribble]

love your build so far

 

[raggedjim]

What to do with a Murray tank that was SUPPOSED to fit a 26" bike but ended up being for a 24" bike (thanks ebay seller). Weld it to an AMFer.

[jats]

awsome forks and bars!!!

 

[Randythe Rat]

This bike is looking super cool.
Like it a lot.
Great build.

 

[LukeTheJoker]

Good work on the tank!

Cool looking tank on it....

Now call me slow on the up take here, but I just realized your forks are not sprung... DUH

 

[Gdcast]

Love this!!! So, as the bars are where the headlight is supposed to be, will the headlight be where the bars are supposed to be?

 

[raggedjim]

No, she's not sprung, I think I could do it but I hate to take a chance on it.

She is getting a head-light, it will be low and tight to the front tire (which I am back and forth on what tire set to use).

Thanks for the replies, Rg

 

[raggedjim]

Well, I finally decided which tires to run so once I get them mounted I can work out some of the details I have been waiting on.

I just realized that so far I have not used any part that was not specifically made for a bicycle, which is kinda odd because of all the un-bike stuff I used on Loco-cycle. Also, I haven't used any springs, Loco-cycle had 7 springs! I guess it's good that I have basically ignored trying to copy anything from the old build, but I will probably used the same head badge (I'll have to make one since I don't have it yet)


Good luck to all, Rg
