my low rider build

[chap]

I must admit that the look of Badersbus' chequer and dice bike makes me want to build my own!
Yours looks good so far. Have you got a tube to use as a headtube?

 

[wavestarved]

Yeah, I had pretty much a complete bike to chop up for bits. I could use a wider bottom bracket though.
I've just cut the hole and welded the steering tube in today, that was fun.

 

[wavestarved]

Chunko, surely matt black's ok? It's left over from something else and not costing anything. HONEST

 

[chunkolini]

Mattblack? hmmm as long as you put it on with a toothbrush.

It's definitely a summer thing building these abominations, is it linked to the copious rehydration needed when being stupid?

Chunko'.

 

[the snooper]

Hey hey hey
You boys aren't spending money on this nonsense are you?
Dreadfull dreadfull.
Chunko'.

A bit of progress in the steering tube and front wheel drop out departments today.
There is deffinitely gonna be anack to riding this judging from the feel of it wheeling it out of the garage for a photo or two.
This is it balanced together before some adjustments with the angle grinder
Then after
and finally with the steering tube and front drop outs all in place

Are we talking the proverbial gnat's chuff here?
I respect that.

 

[chunkolini]

Tight? me?

What a ridiculous machine. Where do the pedals go?
this would a fabtastic Gravity Sled. Google the term, utube will be full of them.
A great way to die.

Chunko'.

 

[wavestarved]

Utterly ridiculous indeed matey, that was the design brief.
The pedals are going to be mounted on a 6" piece of box section coming up inside the frame from that bottom corner.
Just off to youtube to watch some gravity sledding, sounds insane.

Chunko', I'd have thought you'd preferred something more artistic & sedate LIKE THIS
