Got some more done today. Decided to ditch the Stingray forks in favor of an X-53 unit. So much more classy

I can move or add stuff but to make a frame from scratch is a talent that some of you all have that I don't think I have. Mine would probably just look like some stock one

And now we get to that point in the program where the question, ' how is this guy going to use a chain as part of his frame?' gets answered. The next question to be answered is ' isn't that heavy?' Yes. It is. Very much so. But I don't care because this thing won't get ridden more than a few miles at a time. Just gotta finish welding the chain, then I'll start mocking up the rear suspension. The last link in the chain will be the pivot point for the rear end

I decided to wrap the bb shell in a slightly smaller chain as well

The side plates for that big chain might make decent fork rockers.

That bike will get where you are going long before you do!, should be cool!

i like how you used the rear tube as guide to weld the chains down tube , makes for perfect lines

 

[LeMad Hatter]

Small update. Got the links welded together so I can finally move the frame around. Started mocking up the rear end and the floating seat pan, as well as the handlebars. More pics this weekend when things are more finalized

Do you weld the chain on the bottom? So it will be hidden?

Yes. Didn't want it to obviously show how it's held together. After all the bodywork is straightened out and perfectly painted, I'm going to make the chain look rusty and faux patina everything

Hey @LeMad Hatter , any 'chain-ges' in your build lately?
