Hey DJ. Looks pretty sweet. i like the front shocky. Good luck with it.

 

[damonjackson_spl]

i got a set of marzocchi triple T's from the mid 90's to go on it, 20mm thru axle and 5-6" of travel, should give me some more rake and a nice stiff front end!

just finshed the bobber seat brackets, will post pics tomz//

 

[Poupoudoum]

Nice!

I love the rear!

 

[Rayzor]

Thats pretty sweet! Are you going to make it only motorized, or will you still have some pedaling power?

 

[damonjackson_spl]

yeah will be pedal power assist as well... see i have still retained a BMX bottom bracket at the front, I will be pushing it back thou to get more clearence for the crankarms/front wheel..

will run some 155mm from a mini BMX racing bike..

will get pics of the bobber seat up today..

cheers

Should shoot it down with a quick coat of flat black so we can see what it'l look like The shape looks good

Looking good. Are you going to use a dual brake setup on the rear.
Extra stopping power, Also would be a cool custom look.

 

[brisbane_boy]

dont really know what your on about, the sprocket or 44T HD sprocket or 7sp cluster?

sorry it is very early in the morning haha

 

[damonjackson_spl]

Sweet!

Where did you find the springs??

they were salvaged from an old sprung cruiser saddle from a beach cruiser, all the parts were re-useable!! just had to weld some nuts to the frame and a hole for the threaded bar to recess down into..

work great, just need to glue some low profile padding and leather and i am away, going to drill 2mm holes at 10mm incriments so i can stitch the leather to the alloy seat pan..

cheers for the comments

Its on the 44t on the outside of the gear, its black. anyway that's a good looking bike you inspired me to start designing my own frame. thanks for showing us your bike.

OHHH

that is the freewheel mech for the hybriped freewheel rear end, has replaceable pins so you can lock the rear wheel, then unlock it so it freewheels like a normal bike, good for when you run out of petrol

HYBRIPED is made in tasmania

 

[philymitch]

where you get it at. I want one.

grinder welds back and did some nice looking tiggish spot welds (with an arc welder :roll: ), then grinded paint off and used a small layer of filler to create an integrated look on the welds..\
