Luke,
You probably wouldn't even need to angle the BB up if you left it outside the frame..

Some cool plans there!
Starting to lean towards doing it as a dragster now and doing up a girls bike as a muscle bike for my wife... Not sure, just finding it hard to get motivated.

On another note, received two 203mm Avid clean sweep rotors today, picked them up cheap second hand on eBay, they will go on one of the bikes somewhere...

Using your new template...

Giving the old layout one last try to get the jack shaft away from your feet.
 
Loving your thinking there BikeBuilder! Going to be keeping them in mind when the time comes to do it! Love the treatment of the chainstays, nice feature on the top one, and adds more room to the bottom one!

I will now be doing a different bike for the MBBO though, picked up some rims and tires the other day to build a bike for my wife, it may be a bit over the top for her though, so I may end up riding it more... ;)

I'm getting antsy.
Partly because I have stuff setting to work on and I haven't been able to touch my other bike because the weather (rain and paint don't go well together).
Yep, I just want to get the grinder out and start cutting the frame up!
But, I am restraining myself and getting some chores done and out of the way, so they will not hold up the build as much once the time starts...

Did some washing and mowed the lawn yesterday... :angelic:
Today I just watched YouTube videos, so that does not really count... :oops:

Luke.
 
What I really need to do is get out and scratch up some dough...
That Fruit Krate build I'm hoping will be with my son, thrifty or not,
won't be like building from the scrap pile... gotta buy some parts...

Carl.
 
Wow! Carl has it just about all planned!
I have a pair of rims, a pair of tires and half of a frame, not even a name yet, but I have a goal... ;)

Luke.
Didja see my :eek: "to be determined list"?
Seat mounting and brakes have the old gray matter percolating.
I think I have the BB whipped, but I'm almost glad we have 4 months!
Almost, I say, because seeing the mock ups...
I WANNA RIDE IT!

Carl
 
Just had a crazy idea, maybe shelved til the WBO...
Stretched rear end, super knobby tired, HILL CLIMBER.
