Re: Old # 3

It looks cool...I think it would need a basket though to really make it say Cycle Truck.

I guess the seat tube also has less rake on a real CT.
 
Re: Old # 3

Yeah Steve, its one of those things that you just totally miss it. Oh well nothing ventured nothing gained.
 
Re: Old # 3

Yeah maybe a StretchRay. :shock: :shock: :shock:

Or maybe paint it Yellow and call it a BananaRay. :lol: :lol:
 
Re: Old # 3

Mark did a photoshop of the bar moved. It looks better. Since its pretty much a wash, I will try
moving the bar down.

Re: Old # 3

Photochopping can be good and bad. It lets you see into the future...... and the work ahead. :mrgreen:
 
Re: Old # 3

Clancy I have no life , so if I finish it then I have nothing to do. If I cut it and change it then
I have more of a project. So its Bandsaw Time. :wink:
 
Re: Old # 3

I had even thought about that. Could call it the ZZ TOP bike. :shock:

I really didn't want to have to fill up the hole in the neck from cutting the bottom tube lug off
but hey I got time and a welder. So this is where I am right now. Just heavy tacked in , but looking
pretty good like this.

Re: Old # 3

Here it is with the center tube tacked in....still doesn't look like a cycle truck.
Guess its got too much rake. Oh well. Looks sorta like a ladder. :shock: :shock:

Re: Old # 3

I could raise the back and then the rake would look less, but then it would be too high to ride
comfortably. Guess since it doesn't look like a cycle truck then just I will just make it a funny
little twin bar with a small front tire. :lol:

Re: Old # 3

I like it with the redone bottom tube. Just mount the straight bar horizontally right above the bottom tube and call it done!
 
Re: Old # 3

Maybe the center tube parallel to ground same starting point at seat tube gives the sign board Steve's going to design for you a ground. :) I liked the z version too kinda interesting and different.
 
Re: Old # 3

Yeah Gary I used a program and drew it every way and it doesn't get any better. There is too much rake
in the seatpost and the steering tube to look like a cycle truck. I thought I could get it ,but it isn't there.
It will look ok , but its no cycle truck.
