Here is a before of my Spyders:

Here is my first fit test. Put the cart in front of the horse on the forks:

Cool. Looks like a mini Spaceliner. 20" wheels?

 

[aratman]

it is a 24.

 

[bpellham]

gonna follow this one. I really like the 24" muscle.

 

[LukeTheJoker]

Very cool! We need more adult muscle bikes on here!

What do you all think of the fork height? I am thinking I could go down a lot on the front. More vintage racer less chopper. I can only cut once so I thought I'd asked the peanut gallery.

 

[LukeTheJoker]

I think it would look better lower, but I need more peanuts... :wink:

Lower the fork will look better.

Yep measure twice cut once. Now I got a little agressive on the drop, now they are too short. Guess I have some forks for my next 20" build. Great googly moogly. That being said they did look a little heavy for the frame anyhow. Now I am in search of new forks.

 

[aratman]

Well here it is post hack.

Last night i put the tires and tubes on the wheels and it looks better but I didn,t get any pictures.

It might be OK, likely to be a little voice nagging me for new forks in the back of my head.

 

[freddyfingaz]

Look much better. It look better with evened stance.

Well I "finished" it for the summer. Some chips and such I should touch up but that is what winter is for. I changed the forks to some OCC's and dig the banana seat. I drilled out the mount holes and used some huffy double goose neck clamps and huffy V-Bars. It is a pedal drager so I will need to address that but it is fun to ride.

Came out nice!
