Looks great! I've seen this somewhere before but can't remember? I like it! Good job! The off roading on that bike will be very smooth!

 

[mtn man]

Thx. You may have seen one like this. But you haven't seen this one before. I built this frame myself from scrap bike frames. I copied the Blow-by-you full suspension bike. Cuz I don't have $2200.00 bucks to buy there's. I have about $300.00 invested in this one. I'm lucky to have a used bike store near my house that has tonage of stuff for super cheep. They gave me a pile of frames they were going to throw away. I cut them up and made this frame. My buddy gave me the forks and shock. And I made the rear sway arm out of one inch square toobing with crank arms ground down to fit inside toobing and welded in place. The swivel is a bottom bracket with standerd 4 sided axel. Bike weights 65lbs. I have about 200 miles on it so far. No major problems with it. Very smooth ride lots of travel, lots of fun! Cheers.

That is awesome! Submit it to www.atomiczombie.com . They give salutations and sometimes awards for home-built bikes. They might even send you plans (they make $ selling DIY bike plans) as an award. Even cooler would be if they duplicate your bike in a way so that others can build it esp from commonly available tubing and parts.

I'm sorry you must have miss understood. I got the shocks front and rear for FREE. I paid 150.00 for the motor and I have about 150.0O in used parts.

What brand are those front forks? Are they Rock Shocks?

No there Marzocchi bomber forks. I think there from around 2004.

 

[happycheapskate]

Marzocchi is nice! I have an old coil and oil shock from the 1990s, on my favorite mountain bike. I have bombed down hiking trail stairs made of rail road ties and it didn't buck me off the bike.

 

[mtn man]

one more pick.

Ok I recognize those forks now . Those are good forks it was hard to tell from the pict. I have two of those forks. Should'a recognized them lol. Oldies but goodies! I ran those on my Boxer in the beginning and switched to a set of Rock Shocks for the room for wider rims. Scored a set of those twice on Craigslist those are pretty indestructible. Mine are still cherry. http://motorbicycling.com/showthread.php?t=22674
