ORBO RooGoose

This build is going to be an Australian take on the Moosegoose.
Chopping up this XXL 27.5 Apollo, to create a mini velo bmx in the spirit of the Mongoose Moosegoose.

Starting off today by extending the steer tube on some old bmx forks.

Set up in the lathe to machine a spigot to fit inside the bmx fork

I'll add some weld and that will have the fork sorted.

Then I cut the frame apart,to start working on the new dimensions, raising the bottom bracket significantly to suit the 20" wheels.
I'm loosely basing the geometry on a 26" cruiser so it'll be comfortable to cruise around on.
