I know the feeling, I can barely walk through mine. I have to move parts just to get to a rideable bike on warm days.

I really wanted to use this trussed fork but it came off a 24" bike & the 26" wheel was just to tight .

So I used a nother one I had more of a BMX style it was the wrong color so I had my friend sand blast it for me

I took it to my neighbors welding shop
Today and welded the drop outs they were basically jus tack welded

Also welded me up a slightly layed back seat post . Took a old post & cut the top off to fit the clamp . Then welded it to the old school 5/8 sold steal seat post .

Also order some custom made bars from MR. Tick

Let me put these bars in prospective
I may have to cut these 36" bars down a little.

36" Exessive indeed! they look great tho

Ride with them before you cut them, my 02. The ones at mine, at 32" ended up perfect for bmx feel on the frame I used. I thought they were long till I rode with them and now I wouldn't have it any other way.... 36 isn't much wider. 2" more per side.

Building... riding...

I agree ride before I cut, I actually thought they were going to be 32" but they are wider then expected. Typically I use 29" wide Bars on my mountain bike . On single track trails these 36" bars

may be like long horns between the trees .

Understand fully, gotta fit the trail you are riding.

I did catch some tree branches on the singletrack a couple weekend ago. Downhill, took the corner a bit too fast. I May have it on video, come to think of it... I put that one on operato error. ;-)

Love the bars, nice forks too!

G, my moto-x bars on the Mesa Buggie are 35 1/2" wide. Of course, no single track tree riding in the desert. And all the cactus seem to be spaced at least 36" apart, so I'm good. Your bike is coming together....watching...and waiting!

Originally was going to use use a one peace crank . but I a had a three piece crank & BB . So I figured what the heck sealed is smother & faster . I order a conversation kit from Niagara bikes 18$ shipped . It fit perfectly.

Also I thought I would throw some shine on the Hiawatha. Sealed in the rust and some of that old blue paint someone put on at some point in its life . I stripped off most all the blue but left just enough as it is part of his DNA .
