Hoeha,
Ik kan u niet zeggen hoe zeer ik geniet van uw Stretch Bouw naarmate hij vordert, laat ik dit zeggen u inspireren van anderen in het forum met je rek te bouwen.
Ik zou willen dat we meer durf had zulke bouwers als uzelf hier in de VS, slechts een gedachte misschien kun je een zijspan rig ook toevoegen aan deze te bouwen, hebben niet gezien dat iemand uit Europa iets op te bouwen als dat.
Hoe dan ook blijft bouwen en vergeet niet om alleen maar na te denken over het toevoegen van een zijspan aan uw bouwen, niet veel hier in het forum staat zullen zijn om dit zo te vertalen zal ons geheim als je de zijspan toevoegen aan deze te bouwen.
Blijf op de hoogte met dit geweldige werk wie weet misschien ook u kunt worden van de volgende internationale Builder die overal ter wereld erkend toegeschreven aan je bouwt.
Good Luck & Vrede Crazy Horse.

Re: Homebuilt Stretch frame, 1st MB
Looking forward gentlemen! By the way could you tell me the ground clearance of the basman? In my country, anyone can construct a road hump and without any standard design...meaning it could look like a log in the middle of the street or it could be a row of bricks with all the corners intact (ouch) or for cheapskates, they buy a used truck tire, cut thru the middle, shave the sides a bit and lay it on the roadpec.. I'm thinking of getting a basman too so I'm looking at the pros and cons...thanks!!Actully 'built' just this minute came in from finishing cleaing the spatter from the last of the
welds on the frame, she is finsihed
Nice job on the stretch, LOVE the Basman for gods sake don't wreck it by fitting a
HT motor too it!

Re: Homebuilt Stretch frame, 1st MB
That's with 24"x3.0" tyres. It used to be a little higher in the front so that made for a little more clearance, but it just didn't look right.
My basman has little over 2" ground clearance. So i can't go up or down even the lowest of sidewalks.

Re: Homebuilt Stretch frame, 1st MB
Heheheh, ja, ik heb al aan een zijspan gedacht. Over een paar maanden hebben we een baby die ook een zitplaats nodig heeft. Maar ik weet nog niet. Misschien...
Re: Homebuilt Stretch frame, 1st MB
that's a scraper! I wish I could drop my future basman that low but then again....maybe I'll go for 26" ers...thanks!!!pec.
Re: Homebuilt Stretch frame, 1st MB
Me like scrapers
Talking about scrapers, i've lowered the front now, cause i didn't like the large gap between the headtube and the front tyre. And the middle tube is now sitting level. Just look at how much clearance the pedals have!
O, and i moved the saddle back for my ideal pedalling position. Looks better too.
And look at that cute little kickstand

Re: Homebuilt Stretch frame, 1st MB
Just for a 2 mile ride and only scraped the pedals about 11 times! I say that's just fine. It's not going back up

That's an awesome stance you got there! Keep it like that Hoeha! You'll get used to timing when not to down-pedal.Just for a 2 mile ride and only scraped the pedals about 11 times! I say that's just fine. It's not going back up
Re: Homebuilt Stretch frame, 1st MB
Next up is a shifter. I really like the suicide shifters, but i do not know how wide my tank will be. So i'll probably just whip something up quikly to get me going on this thing untill my motor get's here, or till i get the tank done.
That's just the thing, i'm already used to that from riding the Basman. But this thing even hits when you go over a small bump! I love it!!

Re: Homebuilt Stretch frame, 1st MB
There is a thread somwhere over at Ratrodbikes.com on how to put a stick on those shifters , that would look pretty cool.
Cheers

Hey cool thanks. I 'll have a look. I was thinking of just clamping a bar onto it.

Re: Homebuilt Stretch frame, 1st MB
There's a growing market for this kind of bikes. Bicycling in general is very big in Holland, and (mostly in the bigger cities) lowriders, cruisers and stretches are getting more and more popular. Or at least it seems that way because i see them more often.
But, you still get a lot os headturning wth one
