It's Alive…(DIY bike, me me me, flame-a-geddon and overly long title content)

So I got my home-made/adapted fat bike working again. The rear triangle has been fixed and beefed up. The small chainring just about works so looking forward to a proper go!

Woohoo! Actual ride videos would be good, that thing must be a right hoot. 😀

Kev

mud clearance looks tight on the back?

top work. got any pics of the rear triangle from the back/top/behind a privacy screen?

Love it! Farm gate indeed! Is that one of Jon Whyte’s?

some gits nicked one of your drawers!

I like that bike – what happened to the back end ?

some enterprising welder of tubes should start offering stuff like that – I’d have one for the back of my old Bullit*

*If it was ded cheap and guaranteed for life

That looks like a lot of fun.

awesome, extra points for an action shot.

perfect for the MegAvalanche, don’t entries go live soon? – just a thought…

🙂

al, did you drill that rear wheel yourself ? – appears to be 97% holes

looks like fun. Interested in what you’ve done to the back end.

Wot no beer and scaredy said

You dafty :love:

Quite like it actually.

Houns you are just jealous – I chose the biggest size I could so when folk say “geeza a go on yer bike mistah” I can say “you’re too wee” 😡

Aye self drilled rim…I’m not expecting it to last!

Ride is odd – BB is ****ing high as you can imagine. Need to try it out properly and will vid up my rad skilz thereupon 😛

Looks like a man in the shed invention hoot. Fun! I doff my cap to you. That’s not a euphemism by the way.

Floor needs some proper rubbish on it and get rid of the fire extinguisher and shift the yellow kids climbing frame away from the draw set and I think you’ll have a nice workshop there.

I see no hammer nor mol grips.
