MegaPixieRay RRBBO8 (Added some of the Finishing Details)

Re: MegaPixieRay RRBBO8 (Nanner painted)

Took the MegaPixieRay out on the town this afternoon for a ride and had some funny conversations. While at the Dairy Queen I had a guy that came in on a motorcycle tell me I put to much air in my tires (Meaning that is why they are so big).

You would only get two of these beastly things on a 4 position bike carrier. As you can see I have to cradle it under the Down Tube other wise the front tire is to close to the ground.

Very cool, looks sweet, how does it ride?

It rides fairly well, but it gets a little scary in tight places with the wider handlebars.

It's always cool to see a build off bike ridden and enjoyed!!

Working on a Rear Rack Idea, tell me what you think of the three ideas...

#1, has a little more flow.
Looks like it's for a lunchbox, perhaps?

I'm leaning more towards the lean curves of #3. Might even look good with curved shelving bracket from home depot.
#1 has the most strength, but I think it kinda takes away from the vibe of the bike.

blend of 2 and 3 - a curved piece of tubing.

Bingo!
That the ticket!

Yeah a curved piece running from the corners down would look pretty cool. Other than that I think it looks very nice on that bike.

Re: MegaPixieRay RRBBO8 (Nanner painted)

Here is what I think I will use for the bracket for the rack.

This

or this (with the tail cut off)

Here is what I may do to mount a Speedometer...

You just keep putting one cool thing after another on this bike/build. I really like the way this is coming out. Thanks for such a great build post with all the pics and info.

Re: MegaPixieRay RRBBO8 (Working on Rear Rack)

Well I think I have the Rear Rack totally fleshed out, now I have to make a choice. The choice is do I bolt the rack on or weld it on?
