bbb, don't be mistaken...
This bike is
Full Size.
I nailed the geometry on this frame. It's perfect. It has nearly a 5' wheelbase, a 38" handlebar height at the neck clamp, and up to a 36" inseam at the seat, (meaning the distance from the seat, at where someone's leg starts, to one pedal at it's farthest point from the seat ) and that itself is fully adjustable by sliding the seat fore and aft. Cool thing is, this frame still flies as a low rider. the seat unloaded sits at 25" when the seat is farthest back.
Plenty of room for comfort and no goofy handling....
I am also fabricating three different styles of handlebars to finish the look as I cannot find anything out there that I like. One will be a set of "BroomSticks"; 24" wide pin-straight drag bar. Second will be "Turn Downs"; 24" wide but turned down at the grips and swept slightly back. Third will be "Chimps"; a short-rise version of an ape hanger.
Gonna head out to the shop and finish the sliding solo seat bracket today.
I'll have more photos tonight.
Stay Tuned...
