RRBBO13 Sans Seat Post

[Kevin Larson]

I don't really weld so i'm gonna do what I can to be creative: some 3" wheels - staying with skiptooth chain on modern cruiser rims. a prewar Elgin twin-bar frame, notice no seat post! Sprocket maybe will be custom made. undecided on bars, grips, accessories, flare, repaint, etc.

Wow another Twin Bar! This is getting interesting.

Awesome fork too!

 

[Scribble]

Kevin, it's Lee....your part-time AZ neighbor! Yeah, we got back in time to enjoy a couple solid weeks of 'Winter in April'...about 25" of combined snowfalls. Beautiful now though!

And this why why we get to change frames I assume?! Unless I only ride it straight I might not be riding this very far!

Ouch!
I'm not sure if I would change frames or change forks. Both are very cool!

 

[OddJob]

Remember what Yogi Berra said, "If you come to a fork in the road, take it."

I'm with TRM on this one. Both frame and fork are cool in their own right, just not together. Reminds me of a girlfriend I once had....

 

[V8Ben]

Weld tubes to lengthen the upper part of the fork! Same opinion as TRM and OddJob, it would be a shame not to use this setup

 

[SoulGarageOH]

Love the frame. AND those Vans tires are so cool. I almost tried them out last year.

If I had to choose between the frame and the for, I would keep the frame.
Nothing wrong with the sick fork, but it's hard to beat a Twin for coolness.

I’m still on the lookout for a good fork. I need to find a vintage one that will have 3” clearance. Front fork for this one is close but not nearly 3”

 

[OddJob]

Kevin, I have the repop Monark Deluxe Springer that I got from my LBS through JBI bike (formerly J & B). I used it on my 'Hawth of a Different Color' build. And the really fat 3" tires (with a wide edge to them) fit nicely.

It’s taken me a while to find something unique, looks like I’ll have to cut this down but, it’s progress.
