(MBBO Class 2) GSR 1000

[Granite State Rollsters]

• Ok so it's been since rrbbo7 but I'm back! Started a home grown bicycle repair and customization shop and called it Granite State Rollsters so RIP Easyrider420 and hello GSR! I don't really know what the end result of this build Will be but I have a frame picked a tin can Sears three speed hub and a 65mm fat bike wheel with a blown out hub. That's one of the three parts right? Rear wheel will be larger than the front can't wait to get knuckle deep in this project! Rat on my rat brothers!

Hey Carl, it's a Royce Union GXR 1000. Kinda funky huh? To those familiar with sport bikes you might get why I chose the frame lol to those not so familiar the GSXR 1000 is an extremely powerful sport bike made by Suzuki and I've seen some pretty sick muscle bike conversions done with them so here's my rendition

So recently my shop was burglarized and the vast majority of my tools were stolen I'm coping and hoping... any way I'm not letting that stop me from doing what I do, make cool ... bicycles! first things first and this fat wheel won't fit between the brake mount bosses on the frame so they had to go and in a primitive fashion! Mean edged metal saw with a gorilla taped handle!

 

[Granite State Rollsters]

I checked the fitment of the wheel and tolerances are tight but workable. We'll worry about the brake thing later now to get these two wheels to make one wheel. I'll be honest I got lucky with the spoke length on the fat wheel as they were almost to long for the new/old three speed hub! a strong layer of gorilla tape for a rim liner just for a lil extra protection any way here's some pics lol

 

[Granite State Rollsters]

Got a lil sleepy last night... I couldn't continue after I trued the wheel so I went to bed. Went out this morning and dished and fitted the wheel and it's gonna work just swimmingly oh yeah here's a pic...

[CRASH]

That sucks about your tools. Hopefully you can recover. I hope the business is doing well!

 

[Funkme]

Cool concept so far,interesting to see the end product...

 

[Granite State Rollsters]

Work is being done today pictures to come a lil later

 

[Granite State Rollsters]

Well I got some stuff done today for sure! Picked out some tires. I'm gonna go with a 24" up front. I like the stance with the forks on it but I'm gonna fabricate some new fork legs without the blown shocks on the bottom lol. More than likely add a disc brake up front too. But first things first. I picked class 2 right? Let's chop that frame... [URL=http://s1098.photobucket.com/user/jmeshow/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20141022_151850.jpg.html] [/URL]

 

[Granite State Rollsters]

I needed some metal and this poor thing never saw it coming!

 

[Granite State Rollsters]

Oops forgot this one just another cool pic of the chop

 

[Granite State Rollsters]

Looks like a good base for a sub frame to me!

 

[Granite State Rollsters]

That's all for today. I'll let your imaginations run with where the heck this things going next...
