MTB turned angular Cruiser/Chopper?

Started on my HF build today and just spent a few minutes trying to picture what I want it to look like. I'm not sure what you'd call it. It will be minimalistic, angular, not all about style without purpose, and comfy(relatively) at the same time.

Frankencruiser, I guess is what I'll call it.

What I started with, only mine was/is black. I like black.

The plan so far. The seat is already that low or close. Hard to know as I used a generic Google pic for these images. Keeping with 26" wheels, but upgraded ones and the fork will be custom(or that's the plan ATM)


Real pics of progress when I get some. The crude line art is just to see what angles I want, but if you have an imagination it's something.

EDIT: The dark circle shows the pedal circle if you were wondering.

Not much but it's all I've got for the moment. Seat lowered a LOT, and top legs?(I don't know terminology well) of the rear triangle bent down a lot too. Also stripped all the excess stuff off of it. Might end up stretching the front half more than the concept showed. Don't know yet.

Anyway, how it sits. I work slow. Lots of staring and thinking. Oh, and the seat is just for mockup.

Hmm. I'd never seen that bike before. Does look very similar.

Engine will probably be a very tight squeeze, though that is why I put the little "flat" extension into it. Should just fit, and I'll stretch it more if needed.

Got the tires and tubes, and the wheels should be in in a day. Hopefully the frame will be near done by then. It won't stop raining here and I have to work outside. No garage sadly. I'd rather not weld in the rain.
