I'm looking at designing my own frame, and I was wondering if anyone would know of a builder who I could commission to build this? It would be in the style of a Drop Loop style Board Track Racer. I could supply CAD/computer renders etc.. Just thought I'd put this out there. Cheers Jeff

I have attached an image, this is the first draft. I will refine frame dimensions further. But you get the picture.

I feel the frame needs to be low and sleek in height, some of the frames just sit to high. A nice low center of gravity.
I also found this image as a great reference... (although it runs on 24") I feel the frame geometry is perfect! Low and smooth.

Hey Jeff,
Your design looks real good, I really like the lines.
I talked to my guy today and he is interested in building the frames. I gave him the pictures you posted.
On your cad drawings do you have the measurements all figured out?
PM me if you need to.

I have another design that I'll post also. I have these renders that I'll need to convert to CAD drawing through my architect friend. I'll post the other bike design tonight.
I'll PM as I'd love to know what something like this would cost.

These are some of the finest most talented,
Custom Tribute Board Track Racer & Drop Loop Down Tube Frame Period Correct Style,
Designer Builders in the Forum, just PM them or go to their websites for information.
Hope this helps others in their search for a Drop Loop Frame Tribute Board Track Racer Style or Tribute Vintage Road Style Motorized Bicycles!
I'd suggest that you take your time and talk to all of these builders and be sure to let them know what exactly you'd like to build, the more specific you are with the type build you are looking for the less likely you'll have any misgivings.
Note! At this present time to my knowledge these builders offer custom build bicycles as Tribute Board track Racer's and Vintage Road Style Motorized Bicycle Builds some are Custom Hand Made Frames and others use Custom Modified Worksman Industrial News Boy Cruiser's & Modified Worksman Industrial M2600 Cruiser's, these two Worksman Bicycles can be modified with the Drop Loop Down Tube for a Period Correct style in my opinion!
Peace Crazy Horse!

A quick mock-up of an early Indian BTR. Will post more soon. Rendered with a 4 Stroke engine. Pat I know you are a fan of these old Indian's - what do you think?

And another Indian frame. Modeled from an image from the Barber Motorsport Museum.

Both designs look great, and yes I do love these old Indians. Either one could be built. I think I like the curve in the seat post on the first picture. Get's the seat way back and down low. I do think I would get rid of the seat post and hinge the front of the seat to the top tube and then run a rear bracket from the back of the seat to the rear chain stays, just like in the first picture. First picture I show would be a total custom frame, while the second bike could start with a Worksman donar frame. Now we just need someone who could build the tanks and we would be in business! Your four stroke engine even deserves some consideration, too. Never messed with a four stroke on a bike but think that may change soon. Here are my personal favorites. What do you guys think?
One last thought. I have challenged Crazyhorse before to come up with five customers and I would do a run of stretched and looped frame/tank packages. I am now upping the ante (or lowering it). I will do this for a run of three, yes three bikes. I will even keep one myself so I need two more people to make this happen. Come on guys, any takers?
Pat,
WOW those are Beautiful, unfortunately I'm tapped out on resource's for the moment with regards to my current XL Chopper & OCC Chopper Builds.
As for using a 4-Stroke on a build such as you are describing please see my Thread Titled:
Notice! Mini V-TWIN Engines Board Track Racer Tributes.
Here's the Link:

If you haven't seen this thread there are Links to various builders of 1/3 scale or less 4-stroke mini V-Twins.
For those of you who have not seen Pat's Builds Let me Say this, they are unbelievable Works of Art, and to have one with a 4-stroke Single or a V-Twin is just Icing on the cake.

Well, that was easier than I thought. I have five brave individuals already. Three of them were already in line for the standard Flyer model. Drawings are roughed out and a 3" stretch and loop will fit the Morini engine, 4" stretch will fit just about anything. Time to start rolling some tubing and see what happens!
what a nice designed v twin [yellow bicycle] what is the name of the manufracture?thanks warren west / [email protected]
