New Build: The W!

[MEASURE TWICE]

I was looking at the seat and thought nice for my offroad only bike.

Second, I was looking for a swing arm on that bike, but I did not see one. Am I right it is just the seat that pivots with that spring?

Compliments to your DIYishness!

PS, Just noticed a sort of fuzzy picture zoomed in what looks like a door hinge by the seat post tube. Confirmed yea, the seat is using that shock spring, nice!

Just the seat pivots on the spring, yes, no swing arm. That would be cool though.

Here is what I have been doing the past few days.

Added a headlight and mount.

Taillight and mount.

rims went from red to green.

re-geared my jackshaft, first gear WAS 4.68 and final gear WAS 1.79.
NOW first is 5.34 and final is 2.04, little better for the hills of central Pa.

Nice looking work on your jackshaft Cobra. That is a very clean setup

So, this bike burned thru rear cassettes yearly and really stretched some chains. Oddly enough I have decided to go back to where this post began. I am rebuilding the first bike in the first picture in the first post of this thread. Deadline for the project is first weekend in August as that is the date of the 8th annual central Pa bike rally.
