totally digging your build I am in the middle of a fat tire build using the wheels from a stingray chopper got some ideas from your thanks!!!
Widening the frame is easy and cheap, even better if you have a donor bike rear triangle. I am constantly doing this as well as stretching frames for locals for free. By the way, this build is proper and well done, I see the beginning of an A+ build here. I'm excited to see the direction it takes, especially the paint
I often use a bmx axle for thickness and 2 c-brackets to place between the stays with axle nuts in the inside to crank out the stays with some measure of adjustability. Cold setting is easy as long as you are patient and realize that most of what you can be undone if you are easy-going about it and try to be as mentally malleable as the metal is. I find that to be the case with metals anyways. Kind of a "if you can dream it , you can do it" sort of thing
How did you go about separating the stays from the seat tube and top tube without damaging anything?So after looking at it for like hours, I decided that the cantilevers at the seat post would be the best place to cut to widen the rear the extra 1 1/4" that's needed to fit the 3" wheel.
At this point it wasn't wide enough yet but you get the idea.
Oh Yeah! Looking good!
