|  Spare time tuber
In the rare spare time from building batteries... This is the crap I come up with, get bored, then sell. Heres the begining of another project that will just be sold as a roller. I had the wheels, tires, shocks, and link material I had laying around and the chassi I built a while ago... Let me know what you think         |

Guitar Hero! Looks like a nice clean job. Brazing isn't so hard when you know how to solder eh? |

I think I would place a couple tubes from the front of the top tube to the front shock hoops. You only have one tube supporting the front end. Just my .02  |

Mysharona... It's lust primered. Im going to paint it a gunmetal JRH: Yeah the 6+ years of soldering at work all day made the brazing like 2nd nature. And yes... were Guitar Hero addicts here! Kamikaze: Nope it was advil or something... Those are in the dresser  Jonnie Fraz: It's 22awg steel. I wanted the rigidity so the liknks/tranny dont flex |

I am lookin at $250 when all is said and done... But I have a guy interested that has dib's right now. Got most of the rest finished. It will sit lower with the belly about 2-3/4 to 2-1/2 inches from the ground. All droop with touring car shocks. Then to just sleeve the lower links, paint it, and cut the pannels and shes up for sale...     | |
