The Alien

New build started this weekend .{2nd build}

Making my own springer front end using 2 front forks

not finished in this pic of course.

Just using an old mountian bike frame to chop & stretch out, will move the bottom bracket tube further up towards the headset to give pedal clearance & alter the seat tube too


below is a doner engine bike I brought today runs but a bit rough cost me $80 NZ {around $50 US} even got a sweet dynamo oldschool headlight

Sick, I like where you're going with this. The fork is looking cool! I hope the engine treats you nicely :)

That was a great idea using the handle bars for the chain stays. Looks awesome! What did you use for the bracket on the head tube for the tops of the forks?

welded a bottom tube midway up the frame, I had to do this to gain pedal clearance


Made a chain tensioner out of an old skateboard wheel ground a groove in it ,made a bracket & boom couldn't of work out better really

Very cool looking bike. Kiwis are the best improvisers around.

How does the front fork suspension ride?
Hope you guys in Christchurch are doing OK with all the
destruction.

LOL we are all good mate lost our house but hey thats why we pay insurance ,all that mattered to me was the wife & kids..

As for the buggered roads not looking forward the the road test ,forks were more of a gimmick not a lot of travel there

Wow, some of us, me included, take forever to get things done on our bikes, you really move! :D I can't wait to see what you do with the tank. A question I have for you is are you gonna leave it how it is or paint it? Either way it's really cool, just wondering.
