          Very cool, Danso.
          Hopefully your test ride will be taped. Can't wait to hear that pipe set-up.

            Wish I had the balls to hardtail mine... Yours sure looks good.

              mostly stock




              If I develop a beer gut and the preload adjustment isn't enough, I can remake the links about a 1/2" longer. After that I'll have to start dieting.

                That seat suspension is very clever. Looks pretty cool in a super minimalistic way

                        My attempt at creativity... I figure since I was trying to capture an old school look with the bike the photos should match.

                          Those pieces are actually old oil drums
                          I didnt have anything at hand so that had to work

                            Looks cool. Only thing I see missing is half of the hard tail. Running the carbs open like that(is that filter paper I see zip tied over the mouth)? Any plans for a different electronics box?

                              Verde. That has to be the most braced hardtail i have even seen. Looks very cool with the extra bracing.

                                Thanks, I may have gotten a little carried away when I decided not to follow a traditional neck-to-axle line with the hard tail Didn't want to put all that effort into the bike only to tweak the frame on the first gnarly pothole.
