well here are a couple of pics of an attempt at a krate bike made out of my first bmx i ever got when i was like 9 or 10 ne ways i was usein it as my daily transportation and if anyone has ever road a krate bike down a hill it really likes to pop wheelies (not that thats a bad thing) but when your whole half hour ride to work is down hil it is a challange..... so i got a brainy idea to stretch and rake my bike so here are a couple of pics of what it looked like and how its under contruction...

so let me know what what u guy's think?

here's a couple up date pics it was a nice day on sat so i thought i would play with my bicycles

i had a 20" springer that i dodn't know what to do with so i decided to put it on this bike but i wanted it to be lower

so i decided to put some 4" spacer to drop it

so here's what it looks like dropped with the spaces's in it.

thought i would make up a set of handle bars to go with this bike or my webster not to sure which bike to put them on ..... maybe you could help me out with that.... here you go ....

2 pairs of not so cool bars...

a date with my grinder....

and presto...

how comfy is the ride with bars like that and sitting back where your gonna be sitting. thats the kind of look i wanna go for on a bike just not sure how its gonna ride.

 

[Von Stans]

the bike is deffenetly not being built with pple with back problems in mind like my old man... i will let you know how the ride is when i get it finished i just got the banana seat bracked almost finished....

 

[Pawel]

sounds good be sure to post lots of pictures

 

[Von Stans]

i finally got the seat braket done for the bike and i decided that i may have to re-locate th pedales cause when i sat on the bike i realized i will be eating my knee's so i am stretching the crank a foot fowrad or just about....

so i hope you guy's enjoy the bike and the progress ne suggestion are welcomed
