That thing has a very sweet look, but just looking at it I'd be a little concerned about the mechanical stresses on the rear over time... the curve of the top stays is such that instead of exerting compression force on the top stays (like in a normal diamond frame), the weight the bike is carrying is going to want to bend them farther. Know what I mean?
I suppose other people have done this kind of this without problems, though, so I guess it must not be that big a deal. |

i love the red, my favorite part is the random tools scattered about. (thats how all of my builds end up looking, a mess of tools)

Mine works like a charm, steers like a dream- more so than I thought it would... the 66cc engine makes it take off like a bat outta heII, and I can't wait until the slant head I've got on order comes around to shipping.. Using Opti-2 100:1 mix with premium gas, and haven't had a problem firing up at all.. I definitely need brakes put on, as stopping is a good thing at some point..   |
