But i think it's too long and i'm gonna cut and rebuild it like this (thanks to photoshop)

kinda weird
 
Nice drawing. yeah i could have done that if my legs were 2 times longer. Or stretch the banana and you can ride with you're favorite huggin monkey on your back. this thing has 26" wheels, as i soldered it 'was way too long, didn't figured it until i sat on it and tried to put my feet on pedals.
And by the way now it's no longer too long...
 
I really don't know where am i going with this one, just a bunch of trials and errors with 2 wheels.
For now it looks like this:

Like a weird racing machine.
The chain is more than 2 meter long so i riveted 2 old ones together, it was a premiere for me.
I didn' have any handlebar that fits in the head tube so i screwed one behind the fork. Then and just for funt i put springs to maintain the handlebar... but now i know you can't ride when you hands are rotating on 2 axes at once, so i replaced them with 2 big spokes made of thin steel bars. Gonna need ut 2 or 3 pairs more at least to get sturdy enough.

Needless to say, riding position is awful. But i like it!

These parts are chrome chair feet from the 60's.

Yeah might build some front fairing too (quite a challenge).
