ORBO T6 Texan

[Wildcat]

The wheels were trued up and some parts arrived today. Another mullet arises! Bars and seat are still undecided. The BMX stem still hasn't arrived.

The cranks are 38/24 teeth. 38 is probably good for just about any offroad in low gear, 24 can be used by manually shifting the chain to the smaller chain wheel.

Very cool! Love the name and theme.
The frame reminds me of a 'BMX like folding bike'. Very interesting!

I saw a T6 Texan old trainer flying over our vegetable garden here last spring or summer. Being the nerd I am I instantly was alert and looking around. My wife asked why I was looking around searching the skies.... I said one thing.... 'radial engine'. My wife sighed

You’ll want a rear derailleur or chain tensioner pulley otherwise you will get massive chain slap when you ride in that 24

Definitely. I have a shimano cluster with a 34 tooth low cog. I may never use the 24 tooth chain wheel but it's there if I want it. I found some derailleur hangars and will be hooking up the gears in the next week.
