Mmmmm , I started this morning with a quick tool box tidy during which I spotted a frame in the coner of the garage. Then dug out three sets of forks ,stem,bars cranks and thought hooligan bike ! Ok so im short of a few bits but it wouldnt take much cash to have another(yes another) useable bike . What do you think and which option ?

long travel ?

short travel ?

no travel ?
Anyway the suns out so a short road ride to the bike shop maybe called for.

Liking the first one… looks a little like my latest creation (see this thread for details)

(edited as I didn't want to hijack your thread guv'ner, sorry 🙂 )

No 1 for sure, although the head angle is a bit waaay haaaaaay!!!!!

thats a nice Orange.

shorten the seatpost on the first pic and you'll have an ace rag about dh hardtail!
That's what I would do anyway!

the head angle with come back a little with a rear tyre fitted and set with some sag , I reckon.

top one for the win!

i think you should sell me them deemax's dead cheap 🙂

Short travel option – still looks slack enough for fun 8)

none of them – it's an abomination.

Maybe this old frame would make a better option , perhaps with a two front ring set up .Mmmmmm
