My summer bike build

Here's my bike I'm going to use for the summer build off. I got it all dismantled today and found some cracks. I'll split some tubing and weld around the cracked tubes. I may even put some kind of gusset on the bottom between the two tubes for some additional support. My plan is to use an under the bar bullet tank, 27" skinny wheels and tires, and one of them cool pablo, ghosto jackshaft kits...............

If I had that bike I'd have had to strip it and junk out that frame. You guys have a lot high skill level than this fat ole city boy.

I think some water had got in the frame and collected in those little bends and of course add some cold freezing weather to that and voila'. The rust is only surface rust. Still lots of good metal there. I've got another frame, the one the 27" wheels came off of. Only thing is it's a girls style. I could add a bar to it but the double tube going down would significantly reduce the amount of room for an engine. So I'll cut it up and use it for peices of tubing................

I'd go with the girlie bike, then put a rack on the back for the gas tank if the bar wouldn't fit. there is a lot more room in some of those things than meets the eye. the sissy schwinn for instance.

Look's like a fun project, have a blast

I've got my ilikeabikea cam running today. I'm out in the shop grinding on my frame. I took the extra bar out and now I'm getting it ready to put in bar and make it into a real boy bike. So if you wanna watch just add ilikeabikea to your contact list on Yahoo IM. I've got it set so anyone can watch........................
