I missed the pic with the new rear end. That really has a great mean look to it. Nice work

 

[dragnusa]

Thanks king, it was one those hmmm let me try this and see how it looks. Not sure if Im keeping the "brakeman" handle tho

 

[dracothered]

Kingfish beat me to it, that is mean looking in the rear now.

Getting some ideas for the seat post.
First option, stock position

second option, bent seat post set way back

third option, bent seat post shortened

Who needs rim brakes lol. Going to see if I can make this work. The top will have a cable running up to the lever I posted a pic of the other day. and the bottom will have a spring attached to the frame to hold it off the tire.

 

[LukeTheJoker]

Friction brake? Wow!

Luke.

 

[dragnusa]

Thats the plan, still need to find a spring that will hold the brake back but will have a enough give to make putting the brake on easy

I really like this ratty rude boy.

Got some welding done today.

Looks good! The two mesh sections tie the bike together really nice!

Cool, out of interest, have you settled on the seat post? Personally I'd go with the long set back to balance up the extended rear end.

Thanks guys. Actually I'm still undecided on the seat post. I like it laid back but will have to tinker with it some more so the seat will sit more level.

I know you switched out during your build, but i think it looks alot better without all those nonfunctional sprockets on there.

Actually its still going to be done just not on this bike, a buddy of mine seen my idea and wants to take the idea beyond just filling in the triangle of the frame. He wants the gears to actually stick out beyond the outside of the frame. So Im just waiting for him to drop his frame off to me.

Oh yeah I dig it!

Lookin sweet! I like the mesh and bars! Any plans to pain the front fork?

 

[junknutz1975]

Great work on redesigning the rear end.
The 2 mesh areas tie in nicely too

 

[dragnusa]

Jasper I hadnt really thought that far ahead, I may give it a brushed look or if I do paint it Ill do it in a cream color.

 

[dragnusa]

Thanks junknutz

Got some welding done today.

I like the heavy duty industrial look with the expanded metal and beefy front end.
With the stretched rear dropouts, the second seat post gets my vote.
