I still reckon one of these needs to be seen rolling up to a Kalgoorlie pub

that would be too easy chook,I want a bucket of gears and brake for doing front wheel stands
Hope ur dental insurance is up to date...............
its slowly morphing on the floor as more parts are ratted form the graveyard.
currently looking like this . Rear shocky cos I can6 gears ,maybe 18,. I got as far as building the front fork and welding up the main chassis spar when the acetylene ran out so theres a stop until i get the green light from the purchasing dept for a new bottle

Surely rear wheel steering or two wheel steering has got to be on the cards.
tried one over the weekend with twin steer, seemed a bit silly
besides which , i will be 1.5m off the ground when riding so i thought keep it simple
ish the rear shock should make it nice on the kerbs, and a fat26x2.3 tyre on the front for a smooth ride below the family jewels

If you touch the front brakes with that, you will go straight over the top. It looks like the c of g will make it impossible to stop going downhill.
Make sure you have a good dental plan in place before you do the test drive.
Is it worth reversing the front 'forks' so the dropout point down instead of up?
May help keep the front wheel in when you land from a popping a mono
dont panic fellas, the CoG is actually well back from the head stock. much further back than a real one. alot more weight will be on the rear than you might expect. hence the shocky
for comfort.
Ive ground to a halt at the moment ,saving up for a bottle of acetylene. so ive been rebuilding some other interesting bikes that ive saved.
this ones a ally framed hardtail downhill bike that had been stripped , so im rebuilding it as a 8gear, but it could be a 8x2.. seems nice to ride but im getting a bit old for bumps and disc brakes that stand you on your head in a flash
once i get it tuned and running nice i'll slap it on gumtree to get some building funds together
