Re: THE LADY RAT
well,went down to larry's to pick up the 3 speed hub. we thought it had a coaster brake. when i got home i found it wasn't. so since i don't want to put rim brakes on this bike i will have to use a single speed with a coaster brake on it. oh well no real loss, i can use it on another bike. i just have to look upstairs and find my other rims to use. so back to painting another set of rims. also got some work done on my front end and got the frame sitting where i need it. man this Lady is siting low. progress is slow. no pic's yet. later

Re: THE LADY RAT

Re: THE LADY RAT

Re: THE LADY RAT
You're gonna need some small cranks for her................i wonder if it would be "legal" to weld ANOTHER bottom bracket to the front of the down tube (in line with the axles). After all you wouldn't be "removing" anything or altering the frame in anyway.......It would give her a nice riding position, and you wouldn't have to worry about scraping. And it would look cool too!.......... Looks good, OUTLAW

Re: THE LADY RAT
Outlaw. I'm stealing that rear drop out idea. I don't know when, but I am. 8) I usually borrow or ask to use. But that one is so good it needs to be stolen. :shock:

Re: THE LADY RAT ( new pictures)
clancy that's not subtle, thats the baddest and lowest stance in here. lol. yeah, i like it too. if ya don't like it you can always put it back. i had to figure a way to get this one down so my wife can ride it and this was the easiest way to do it. still got some more little tricks to come.

Re: THE LADY RAT ( new pictures)
whahaaa!
That frontforkspringerthing looks insane! Are you mad?? ; - b
I LIKE IT VERY MUCH THOUGH.
That bike has a great stance. Hope it's rideable though. Too bad extensive frame changes are a no-no this time. Cause it would be awesome to make mainstays out of the middle ones. 'Lengthen' them so you're able to install the wheels in the same position as the are right now.

Re: THE LADY RAT ( new pictures)
outlaw is going for the lowest bb hight and shortest crank needed to make it rideable. well done and i thought the hooligan sat low. you make me wanna do the droped rear end like i was talking about anyways and just ditch my long crank for a short one. hmmmmmmmmmmmmm your a bad influence.

Re: THE LADY RAT ( new pictures)
hahaha, yep, i am.mad maybe, like a madman.lol i have to put a bb up higher and will be using 5" cranks. there is only 3 3/4 " of ground clearence under that bb and i don't think they make cranks that small. would be interesting i think.lol

Re: THE LADY RAT ( new pictures)
this is way cool. i've been kickin' around(and mockin' up) the idea of non-functional rockers as a way to lower a bike.
you took it to the next level by doin' it to the back also.
i cant wait to see the finished bike.
