this is the bike that got me into motorized bicycle riding.

i got it as a basket case, and finished it up. I rode it all around the large property where i work.

the styling of the bike is cool, it has nice lines.

i liked the idea of it, and i liked how it looked. and pictures i took of it looked pretty cool.

but i actually like the small wheels and low to the ground styling

i just need more space, and stretching the frame is my solution

i plan to do this over the course of the winter this year (2014) and post my plans and pictures here


here is my basic design idea:
1)remove the bottom tube entirely, replace with approximately 30" of rectangular tube
2)stretch the backbone top tobe approximately 12" at the seat
3)connect the down tube wherever it lands (6" extention?)
4)attach bottom bracket (pedal axle) on the end of the new bottom tube (check front wheel clearance)
5)keep the rear wheel rig intact

6)stretch the forks (9" extention?)
7)add support to forks
