Not the best way to mock this tank up, with a men's frame.

But I think it might work on a girl's frame.


That said, I heard there was a tornado in northern Alabama. Not sure where you are to where it was, but hope all is well in TRM land.

Just picked up this old Huffy Cranbrook for $25. I think it might be a good candidate. Have to finish my 2 other projects first, but as soon as my bicycle cash stash builds up enough to buy one, I'm pulling the trigger...

Here's a wild idea. Since I have a TRM Convertible Tank and a TSP Oldster T3, I thought I'd see what the possibilities would be, and I think it could be made to work well as an underslung tank on the version of the Oldster frame that just has the top tube with a gusset, and doesn't have the second, middle tube.
 
View attachment 65370 just checking on a TRM tank to fit this Sun Bicycle--just taking up room and nobody rides it.
Looks like a yes!
This is a guess on the scale without knowing the exact measurements of the frame, but it should be close. The lower placement of the seat stays would require that the trailing end of the tank should mount around the seat post instead of the frame in order to keep the light pods from pointing excessively upward. This would not effect the seat post adjusting. I actually like the way this looks though! It's different and has an aggressive profile.

Thanks for asking, I wasn't familiar with this bike.

Thanks for the feedback-!!!
 
I have been wondering what it'd look like on some of these mixte-style 700C comfort/commuter bikes out now. Kind of like your black build-off bike, but more ready-built.
I been ponderin tanks for this bike(soon to be a black beauty).

Need to figure out a conversion from 1 1/8" fork to 1" steerer tube too.
