My bike design that might be my next build...

[MarksA-C]

Hello everyone.

To be honest I don't know where I got this idea from but I started thinking (A dangerous thing) and it all fell into place.
I like tanks, especially WW2 German tanks. The Tiger I was probably my favorite. It was big and had clean squared edges.

So what I have planned is a frame made from 2"x2" square steel tubing, rear suspension taken off of a junk MT.Bike, front forks with suspension off of a Mt.Bike and a 18 speed gearing set up to get the beast moving.

With the weight it may take a little effort to get moving but it will be long, low and heavy so maybe it will ride like a caddy.
Who knows...I might even put brakes on this bike! :lol:

What do you all think?

Have a good day
Mark-

Brakes are highly recommended! :wink:

That looks great, with a front disc you would probably be pretty safe.

Sounds like you're thinking of building something similar to this;

Nice twist with adding the indy rear suspension though, it will help your back.

Dang, I forgot all about that place. I always wanted to make one of those gladiator style bikes...
