That bike looks like a whole lotta fun that looks pretty cool to boot. I am liking where you are headed with it. [emoji106] [emoji605] [emoji106]
Love the sprocket as well!!
Building... riding...
got ol' porky rideable, just to much ice on the ground to get a proper ride in.
only problem i can see is that the bottom bracket is so high off the ground, i had to lift up the seat way high. like getting on a semi
. now to figure out how to brace the rear end up...dont want to bend it before i get to have fun on er'.

Gonna try to squeeze some fat knobbies in there omaha?
The only thing I can think is to weld tubing in as I said before, similar to what jasper87 did on his boten build.

they would fit. thats the plan.
no welder, but i may have to outsource. either tubes or a plate on both sides.
I think, plates would be best.
Also, would match up with the front.
Looking good, dude.

Yeah ^ . Maybe try to emulate the "tank area" with the plates in the rear triangle..
I can't believe how much better that frame looks the way you have it set up. Never been a big fan of these frames but you have shown me the light.
got in a short ride. 45 today in omaha, melting some ice on the sidewalks. rake will take some getting used too. but i am happy with the ride overall. feels like a bmx to me.
i cut up some cardboard for some rough templates to beef up the rear end of the frame. my hope is this will be enough to keep it from bending. now i just have to figure out how to clean up my saw marks...no grinder..
