Don't know what I'm doing, gonna do it anyway.
That's freakin' awesome!!!!
Actually been thinking about doing a tracked build the past couple weeks, something along the line of a tracked bicycle version of a deuce and a half. Big and heavy I know, but it would be cooler than dangit.
I have seen these conversion kits in action, they work really well in certain applications.

Looks cool tho.
Looks good! Bigger tire now on the front? Great off-road shot...keep em in case / when the snow melts for your final pics....Got it out on the trail.

I honestly don't know what size the tires are, I didn't look. The front has more of a smooth center tread with knobbies on the edges, I left the studded tire on the rear because it took a while to find bearing cups that fit the head tube. Apparently Ross frames had odd sizing.
Glad you are enjoying this cool bike. Looks like a blast to ride. A bit cold up there .
The new name fits it. [emoji106]

Was cold, caught the edge of the snow storm. Gonna be upper 30's low 40's this week, with my week off I can get some decent pics and finally start on my granddaughters bike.
Looks awesome!

I can't help myself: "I want my two dollars!!" Please forgive me.I see "Olin" on that ski looking piece...what is that exactly? I mean, I know Olin is a ski manufacturer, but it doesn't look like a ski? How about an actual downhill ski (wish I was home, I have two old pair destined for this very thing, I could send a chunk) cut off, use the about 2' of the tip end and use hose clamp or something similar to just strap it to the wheel, with the tire on it? Then it would flex and camber to the snow as you pedaled along....

Man I loved that movie when I was younger.
You guys are way ahead of me...no idea what that reference is.

It's from a John Cusak movie called "Better of dead"You guys are way ahead of me...no idea what that reference is.
Newspaper boy wanted his collection money, chased the guy around on his bike saying I want my two dollars.
It's a cheesy movie, but funny too.

I like that first one in this thread. That's a money shot for sure. Aren't you glad you jumped in? Your build turned out really cool! Great frame, great parts mix, and all the chrome and black look really good together...More pics today, nice and warm for a ride.
Whenever the finished thread goes up, one of these may be my final photo.

Thanks Lee, I think that top pic will be the final. Unless I get it out for more before the build off is over.I like that first one in this thread. That's a money shot for sure.

And yes, I'm happy I got involved in this one. I've been having fun riding this bike.
