Picked up this Frame about 6 months ago,
I thought, if all goes well,
I could make a MiNi Bike Homage, to a Legendary Flat Tracker.
1st I had to ace the 5" rims,
and cut off the fenders to make room for bigger wheels
It's a small frame.
By looking at the top picture,
it became clear, the rear wheel had to be moved back (about 5 inches)
to make room for the bigger rims.
Also, to create the better ride, the seat back needed to move back as well.
(So I 'grinded' those rear axle tabs off too)
This being my 1st build from scratch (with no fabrication experience),
I asked my Pops for his help.
He can build anything,
and he took my Frame lengthening request,
and casually hit a Grand Slam!
Now Thats what I'm TaLk'n AbouT
