Default 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?

It is steel... and looks to be 16 gauge. Aluminum does not rust.

Nice job on the tuber...I dont see any mounts for your links...or did I miss them.

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
