Really cool looking bike with very nice lines! Just curious though, won't the bottom tube of the frame scratch the ground when you ride it and the springer gets compressed? :?

Thats what you get when you start building without tires
I try to rise it by adding some lenght to front forks tubes and probably do something to rear fork and maybe new dropouts.

Ah, that's life! Start with the fork mod, I think that might be enough to solve the problem.

Ill probably add about 70mm to those tubes and see if that solves the problem.
For next build Ill get all parts before I start to build
Actually I have next project allready figured out.
I was thinking about building kick-bike for my wife as birthday present.
Deadline is 1.6.2011
Need to start figuring out wheel sizes and other stuff. My wife is 154cm short so its probably going to bee 24 front and 12,5 back.
But thats another topic allready
