Kinda doing the third-world thing then huh? I saw a lot of bikes like what you are describing when I was in the Philippines, especially the more rural ares.

I take it you're not going to raise the suspension? I bet you could fit a monoshock swingarm in there.

yeah, I just like drinking and wrenching with some good music in the background, whatever happens, happens.

too much work for now, I just want something to throw around, this one was in rough condition so it kinda deterred me from building a cafe.

Fellow workin at West Haven cycle salvage in CT rides a twin Suzi (300, 400, 425, I forget) he converted to a dual-purpose-ish bike. Rides it to the shop YEAR round, has knobbies for the snow and all. Neat bike. Good luck with yours.

[bgmart450]

Nope, sorry. I talked to him a few times about it but never got any pics.

gonna make some gussets, made the templates




both sides, back half of the bike and some type of neck gusset. the other frame that's hardtailed had 2 cracks on the back end so I don't want to chance it (one of the reasons it got hacked up)

[Richharr]

a little shark fin for safety



don't really know if I should make it out of fiberglass or steel yet. it is subject to change and I'm open to suggestions
