Mucho Porucho- (6/22- 95% finished.....finally!)

[texasbigjon]

I love my old vintage bikes,but every once in awhile I feel the need to build a custom. so thanks to forum member MIGZ, I got a great deal on one of the new Ruff Poruchco frames. first off these frames are HUGE! I cant wait to have a more comfortable riding machine. I took a few pics of the frame next to a `38 Dayton, to illustrate the size differential. right now I have it mocked up with an extra 80mm wheel set to set the ride height, but I pick up the powdercoated set tomorrow. should have some more parts pics soon!

This will probably be one of the few frames that actually fits you John.

Thanks again

So, Texas Big John is actually big? Who knew???

Frame looks great, thanks for the comparison shot with the vintage frame!

any update on this bad boy

from mock up straight to finished!! its about 95% done. the big tractor light I built rolled off my work table and smashed the lens,so I threw a backup on it . I`ll take some better pics when it stops raining every day and post it in the gallery. [URL='http://s499.photobucket.com/user/texasbigjohn/media/032_zps2c2329c3.jpg.html'] [/URL]

thanks Miguel,and yes it went by Joe Normal`s garage. I told him back in March when he was striping the `53 Shelby,that I would be bringing him a big white powdercoated canvas to play with soon. And thank you once again for hooking me up with one of these bad boy frames!

Wow beautiful job. Great to see the comparison between the frames. I've just bought a Porucho and am having it done as an e-cruiser, I haven't seen it in the flesh yet. I have a DP Harris rollfast so seeing the size difference is incredible, the rollfast is pretty big already so the Porucho must be a climbing frame.

Glad this got bumped up! Missed it until now. Great looking ride(as usual)!

That is one fine ride. I am going to save up for a tubing bender and a welder.
